UnitedHealthcare representatives attending the 2015 National Association of Medicaid Directors Conference in Arlington on Tuesday, Nov. 3, assembled and donated 1,000 backpack care kits to D.C.-area organizations helping the homeless and those in need, including Goodwill of Greater Washington, Volunteers of America Chesapeake and Unity Health Care. Each kit includes items to help individuals stay healthy through the winter, including socks, hygiene kits, bandages, antibiotic ointment, granola bars and more.
The backpack kit donation is a part of UnitedHealthcare’s ongoing effort to fight food insecurity and support those in need in the D.C.-area and across the state.
