Employees from Molina Healthcare were joined by State Senator Vincent Gregory and Oak Park Mayor Marian McClellan of who helped distribute the bags of food to the first 250 families who attended the event.

“We were happy to host this event as it supports Molina Healthcare’s ongoing mission of giving back to the community and serving those in need,” said Stephen Harris, President of Molina Healthcare of Michigan. “We also thank Senator Gregory and Mayor McClellan for taking the time to join us.”

Molina Healthcare representatives also distributed information and answered questions about Michigan’s Health Insurance Marketplace.
