GALLUP, N.M. April 29, 2021 – The MolinaCares Accord (“MolinaCares”), in collaboration with Molina Healthcare of New Mexico, donated $20,000 to the Community Pantry in support of the Whole Hearted Food Fund, which provides provisions and programs for those in need in McKinley and Cibola counties.
The Wholehearted Food Fund supplies local meat protein sources to the pantry, while assisting local ranchers with a viable channel of distribution for their livestock.
“We are grateful for MolinaCares and its partnership,” said Alice Perez, chief executive officer of the Community Pantry. “Their gift will help those who reside in and around food deserts to access the nutrition and sustenance they need to live healthier lives.”
