L.A. Care and Blue Shield Promise Community Resource Centers to Distribute 18,000 Backpacks With School Supplies to Students of All Ages at Annual Back-to-School Events
Nearly 99,000 free backpacks will have been given away at annual events since the start of the health plans' five-year partnership in 2019
自2019年健康計劃啓動五年合作以來，每年會贈送近99,000個免費揹包。從健康計劃的五年合作開始，到現在，已經有近99,000個揹包被贈送出去了。
LOS ANGELES, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan Community Resource Centers are giving away up to 18,000 backpacks this summer at their annual Back-to-School events taking place July 2 through August 17. There are 16 events scheduled across Los Angeles County, which are free and open to the entire community.
2024年7月1日，洛杉磯——L.A. Care Health Plan和Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan社區資源中心今年夏天在7月2日至8月17日期間的年度返校活動中，將贈送多達18,000個揹包。在洛杉磯縣計劃了16個免費的社區活動，向所有社區公開，包括在當地公園和公共住房區舉辦的幾個活動。
The free backpacks – filled with an assortment of basic school supplies like notebooks, pens and pencils – help students be better prepared for the new school year, but also serve as cost-saving resources for many families who are having trouble making ends meet.
免費的揹包裏填充了一些基本的學校文具，如筆記本、筆和鉛筆，這有助於學生爲新的學年做好準備，同時也是爲許多家庭節省開支的資源。約翰·巴克斯（John Baackes）表示：“我們作爲一家深知社會需求與整體健康和福祉之間聯繫的健康計劃，非常高興向數不盡的家庭提供揹包和必需的學校用品。當學生爲學校做好更好的準備時，他們會更自信，更有可能在學校取得成功，這對每一個人都是一個重大勝利。”
"As a health plan that understands the link between social needs and overall health and well-being, we are thrilled to provide backpacks and essential school supplies to countless families who continue to feel the pinch from the ever-growing cost of living," said L.A. Care CEO John Baackes. "When students are better prepared for school, they are more confident and more likely to succeed in school, and that's a big win for everyone."
“提高學術水平和爲學生創造安心的開始控件，始於爲他們提供正確的學校用品，但我們知道，對於許多家庭來說，開學季節可能會帶來由於財務困難而產生的壓力，”Blue Shield Promise總裁兼首席執行官Kristen Cerf（克里斯汀·瑟夫）表示：“爲學生準備一個成功的學年也包括爲他們的社區帶來資源。我們的社區資源中心提供心理健康研討會、Google技術課程、家庭作業和GED輔導、閱讀書籍俱樂部以及其他對全家有用的資源。”
The summer events are taking place primarily at the health plans' jointly operated Community Resource Centers, with a couple of events hosted at offsite locations, including a local park and a public housing development.
夏季活動主要在兩個健康計劃共同經營的社區資源中心舉行，還在包括當地公園和公共住房區在內的一些場所舉行幾個活動。
"Academic excellence and creating peace of mind for students starts by empowering them with the right school supplies, yet we know that for many families the back-to-school season may bring added stress due to financial challenges," said Kristen Cerf, Blue Shield Promise President and CEO. "Preparing students for a successful school year also includes bringing resources to their communities. Our Community Resource Centers offer mental health workshops, Google Tech classes, homework and GED assistance, reading book clubs, and other valuable resources for the entire family."

In addition to free backpacks, each event will offer its own set of unique activities and offerings, such as wall climbing, face painting, obstacle courses, food pantries, children's health screenings and vaccinations.
除了免費的揹包，每個活動還將提供自己獨特的活動和資源，如攀牆、臉部彩繪、障礙課程、食品儲藏室、兒童健康篩查和疫苗接種等。
The 18,000 backpacks being given out this year add to nearly 81,000 backpacks distributed since 2019. In 2019, the two health plans announced a five-year, $146 million commitment to open and operate 14 Community Resource Centers that address local health, behavioral, and social needs. Currently, 12 existing centers offer a wide range of free fitness and wellness classes, health-focused programs, and services that are open to health plan members and the public to enhance the community's overall well-being. The health plans will open two additional locations by year-end 2024 for a total of 14 centers, serving some of the most under-resourced communities in L.A. County.
今年贈送的18000個揹包是自2019年以來已經分發了近81000個揹包的增量。2019年，這兩個健康計劃宣佈了一個價值1.46億美元的五年承諾，開設並運營14個社區資源中心，解決當地的健康、行爲和社會需求。目前，12個現有中心提供各種免費的健身和健康課程、健康專注計劃和爲健康計劃成員和公衆開放的服務，以增強社區整體的福祉。這兩個健康計劃將於2024年底再開設兩個位置，共開設14箇中心，服務於洛杉磯縣一些最不足資源的社區。
