The investments strengthen a network of community food resources throughout California<\/span>. These efforts are designed to provide immediate relief and build long-term solutions to hunger. The support reinforces Health Net’s ongoing commitment to improving the health and well-being of local communities by addressing drivers of health, such as access to nutritious food.<\/p>\n

“Food insecurity isn’t an abstract issue \u2014 it’s something felt in every community across our state. And the truth is, real change always begins close to home,” said Dorothy Seleski<\/span>, Medi-Cal President<\/span>, Health Net. “That’s why these investments matter so much. When we work together with people who know their communities best, we help ensure more families have steady access to the nourishing food that supports healthier, more hopeful lives.”<\/p>\n

In 2025, Health Net, together with the Centene Foundation and through its own direct initiatives, made a series of important investments to address food insecurity across California<\/span>. In total, these investments amount to more than $1.4 million<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Extremely proud of Health Net and the Centene Foundation for helping to keep families across the Golden State fed during this holiday season,” said Senator Angelique V.\u00a0Ashby, California’s<\/span> 8th Senate District. “Food insecurity is a terrifying reality for 5.5 million people in California<\/span>, and over 270,000 right here in Sacramento County<\/span>. This generous contribution will help thousands of people.”<\/p>\n
