It was a profound privilege to host this year’s Harvest of Hope celebration, where we honored the resilience and strength of Sacramento’s Slavic refugee community. Together, we distributed over 1,000 turkeys to families in need, providing nourishment and meaningful support during the holiday season.
This year’s event carried special significance as it marked the first Thanksgiving for many families who fled war-torn regions in search of safety and a fresh start. Harvest of Hope celebrated not only their courage but also Sacramento’s shared commitment to welcoming and supporting these families as they rebuild their lives.
In 2024, ModifyHealth and our community partners have delivered critical resources to thousands of families, including housing, nutritious meals, and access to essential services. A highlight of the event was the CalAIM Community Champion Awards™, where we recognized health plans for their extraordinary dedication to improving community well-being. These partnerships exemplify the impact we can achieve when we work together to address systemic health challenges.
Through the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) program, ModifyHealth leads food-as-medicine initiatives to address social determinants of health. By delivering medically tailored meals to Medi-Cal beneficiaries, we are empowering underserved populations to better manage chronic conditions, reduce health disparities, and achieve meaningful health outcomes.
Our mission is to foster lasting wellness by making healthy, sustainable, and impactful meals accessible to all. Together, we are creating healthier, more equitable communities.
