LONG BEACH, Calif, August 30, 2021 — The MolinaCares Accord (“MolinaCares”), in collaboration with Equity Through Literacy sponsored a back-to-school wellness event at Cesar Chavez Park in Long Beach.
The event promoted wellness and health through various activities while providing direct support to alleviate the financial costs associated with going back to school.
