Sunrise, FL – December 15, 2020 – Community Care Plan, the health plan with a heart, announced today that the organization and its employees donated 100 bikes and hundreds of toys to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.
Community Care Plan served as a pickup location during the seventh annual Big Bus Toy Express held on Friday, December 11, 2020. Community Care Plan’s employees donated toys and gifts for children every year but given how difficult of a year it has been for many families, the donations were even more generous this year. The donations included hundreds of items, including sports equipment, board games, craft kits, artwork sets, dolls, and much, much more! The organization also donated 100 bikes that ranged from tricycles to larger bikes and covered all ages.
“Community isn’t just a word in our name, it truly represents who we are and what we care about,” said Jessica Lerner, Community Care Plan’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With so many families in need this year, we wanted to do something big and this event provided us with the opportunity to do that. Since so many children have had to stay inside most of the year, in addition to the employee donations, we thought that gifting bikes as an organization would help get kids outside and stay active, while socially distancing.”
In addition to Community Care Plan’s donations, members of the public were invited to drop off their gifts outside the Community Care Plan office. Children of various ages, adults, and seniors also brought donations. With these donations, Community Care Plan and its employees helped to fill the second moving truck that was used to pick up the toys and bikes. Community Care Plan’s donations were so plentiful that they were also loaded onto the Big Bus Toy Express!
