DALLAS, March 4, 2021 — The MolinaCares Accord (“MolinaCares”) in Texas is distributing tens of thousands of bottles of water donated by Niagara Bottling to support the millions of Texans still struggling with storm recovery.

“Water is essential for life and the storm left many Texans, particularly low-income families and vulnerable populations, with no running water for days,” said Anne Rote, president of Molina Healthcare of Texas. “We thank Niagara Bottling, and all our valued partners, for joining us in providing needed resources throughout Texas.”

Dozens of pallets with bottles of water were donated to nonprofits that distributed the water to communities most in need, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Nonprofits receiving the water include:

• The SAFE Alliance, a Central Texas nonprofit working to provide safety and stability to victims of abuse
• Keep Austin Fed, a group that works to reduce hunger and help the environment by connecting surplus food with those in need
• The Serifina Food Pantry at the Rebekah Baines Johnson Center in Austin, an affordable housing community that gives seniors a safe place to thrive and age with dignity
• SAMMinistries, an organization that strives to prevent homelessness in San Antonio through a compassionate, holistic approach that brings self-sufficiency, pride and dignity to struggling families with nowhere else to turn
• Prospera Housing Community Services in San Antonio, which provides safe, affordable housing and support services to those in need
• Change Happens, a Houston-based nonprofit supporting families and children in high-risk communities

In addition to water, MolinaCares partnered with local nonprofits throughout Texas to provide essential items and food giveaways, including hot meals, to communities most affected.
