Wider Circle and Optum are partnering to deliver 25,000 healthy meals to families in need during the holiday season. (Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThe donations come at a critical time as food insecurity among the most vulnerable in the region continues to rise due to COVID-19. According to the latest figures from the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, access to healthy food is a major challenge in Los Angeles County \u2013 with approximately two million residents facing barriers to buying nutritious foods.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cUnfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic has left many people in our communities isolated and in need of support,\u201d said Darin Buxbaum, president and chief operating officer of Wider Circle. \u201cOptum\u2019s generous meal donation will help ensure those most vulnerable have healthy meals, particularly during the holidays.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOptum\u2019s additional support for Wider Circle will bring the total number of meals delivered to 75,000, building on a partnership launched earlier this year to deliver healthy food to Los Angeles area residents. The Wider Circle partnership supports Optum\u2019s goal of helping enable patients to live healthier lives, including addressing social determinants of health. It also helps LA area residents, particularly older adults, who may be isolated during the holidays and who may be facing food insecurity during COVID-19.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs case numbers are rising in the region, this partnership brings healthy food to at-risk people who may be isolated and alone due to expanded social distancing measures,\u201d said Dr. Amar Desai, M.D., CEO, Optum California. \u201cAccess to healthy food is an essential component to continued health and well-being and as the holidays draw near, we\u2019re proud to work with Wider Circle, to get food to people with the greatest needs during these difficult times.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring a food distribution event at the Joslyn Adult Center in Burbank, Optum employees joined Wider Circle and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelpinghands.community%2F&amp;esheet=52344863&amp;newsitemid=20201208005864&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Helping+Hands+Community&amp;index=3&amp;md5=a478a98b4b64ec0dc3d3082b6c60d01c\">Helping Hands Community<\/a> volunteers to distribute food kits to several hundred individuals and families from the local area. Wider Circle worked with the City of Burbank to coordinate the event, which provided food kits to residents who had the ability to drive-up in a vehicle or have food kits delivered to their homes. Each kit contains a 10-day supply of food. This event is one of several food delivery and drive-up distribution events being coordinated during the holidays by Optum, Wider Circle and its partners.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe City of Burbank understands the value and importance of community partnerships, and we were happy to participate in this meaningful event, serving the community\u2019s most in need during this holiday season,\u201d said Marisa Garcia, parks and recreation director for the City of Burbank.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo learn more about Wider Circle programs and how to receive food supplies, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.widercircle.com&amp;esheet=52344863&amp;newsitemid=20201208005864&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.widercircle.com&amp;index=4&amp;md5=041d44c0120f8cfd6a1e67187768dd9a\">www.widercircle.com<\/a>.
