Superior HealthPlan, a subsidiary of Centene (NYSE: CNC), has invested $700,000 to support community hygiene closets across Texas since 2020. The initiative provides free personal care products like diapers, deodorant, shampoo, and laundry detergent to families in need.

The program, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, now supports 20 community-based organizations managing nearly 30 hygiene closets in various Texas cities. These closets help fill a critical gap as personal care items are not covered under SNAP benefits, which serve approximately 3.5 million low-income Texans.

Superior HealthPlan, una controllata di Centene (NYSE: CNC), ha investito 700.000 dollari per sostenere gli armadietti igienici comunitari in tutto il Texas dal 2020. L'iniziativa offre prodotti per la cura personale gratuiti come pannolini, deodorante, shampoo e detersivo per bucato alle famiglie bisognose.

Il programma, avviato durante la pandemia di COVID-19, supporta ora 20 organizzazioni comunitarie che gestiscono quasi 30 armadietti igienici in diverse città texane. Questi armadietti colmano una lacuna importante, poiché gli articoli per la cura personale non sono coperti dai benefici SNAP, che assistono circa 3,5 milioni di texani a basso reddito.

Superior HealthPlanCentene (NYSE: CNC)의 자회사로, 2020년 이후 텍사스 전역의 지역 위생 보관소를 지원하기 위해 70만 달러를 투자했습니다. 이 사업은 기저귀, 데오도란트, 샴푸, 세탁 세제와 같은 개인 위생용품을 필요로 하는 가정에 무료로 제공합니다.

코로나19 팬데믹 동안 시작된 이 프로그램은 현재 텍사스 여러 도시에서 거의 30개의 위생 보관소를 운영하는 20개의 지역 단체를 지원하고 있습니다. 이 보관소들은 개인 위생용품이 SNAP 혜택에 포함되지 않아 약 350만 명의 저소득 텍사스 주민에게 중요한 공백을 메우는 역할을 합니다.

Superior HealthPlan, une filiale de Centene (NYSE: CNC), a investi 700 000 dollars pour soutenir les placards d’hygiène communautaires à travers le Texas depuis 2020. Cette initiative fournit des produits de soins personnels gratuits tels que des couches, du déodorant, du shampooing et de la lessive aux familles dans le besoin.

Le programme, lancé pendant la pandémie de COVID-19, soutient désormais 20 organisations communautaires qui gèrent près de 30 placards d’hygiène dans plusieurs villes texanes. Ces placards comblent une lacune importante, car les produits de soins personnels ne sont pas couverts par les prestations SNAP, qui bénéficient à environ 3,5 millions de Texans à faible revenu.

Superior HealthPlan, eine Tochtergesellschaft von Centene (NYSE: CNC), hat seit 2020 700.000 US-Dollar investiert, um Gemeinschafts-Hygieneschränke in Texas zu unterstützen. Die Initiative stellt bedürftigen Familien kostenlose Pflegeprodukte wie Windeln, Deodorant, Shampoo und Waschmittel zur Verfügung.

Das Programm, das während der COVID-19-Pandemie begann, unterstützt nun 20 gemeindebasierte Organisationen, die fast 30 Hygieneschränke in verschiedenen texanischen Städten verwalten. Diese Schränke schließen eine wichtige Lücke, da Pflegeprodukte nicht durch SNAP-Leistungen abgedeckt sind, von denen etwa 3,5 Millionen einkommensschwache Texaner profitieren.

The initiative currently provides access to necessities in 20 communities across the state.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2020, Superior HealthPlan ("Superior"), a leading managed care organization in Texas and a company of Centene (NYSE: CNC), has been working with local organizations to offer community hygiene closets to support families in need. The closets are stocked with personal care products, such as diapers, deodorant, shampoo, and laundry detergent, and are offered at no cost to Texans.

"To date, Superior has provided more than $700,000 in funding to support this important resource in many of the communities we serve," said Susan Mills, senior vice president of population health and clinical operations at Superior HealthPlan. "As some families continue to struggle with buying basic supplies, this initiative has been a lifeline for communities all across our state."

Hygiene closets help fulfill a need that's critically important as personal care items are not covered under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a service that acts as the first line of defense for nearly 3.5 million low-income Texans.

To fill the gap, Superior introduced the initiative in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and later expanded the program based on positive feedback. Today, Superior provides funding to 20 community-based organizations to help ensure hygiene closets are stocked to support those in need.

"This community hygiene closet aligns perfectly with our mission to improve the health of moms and babies in East Texas," said Tecora Smith, director of the NET Health Women, Infants and Children (WIC) department in Tyler, Texas. "We appreciate the support of Superior HealthPlan to provide this vital resource for our community because we know it makes a difference in the lives of those we serve."

The community hygiene closet in Tyler is one of nearly 30 that Superior is supporting in 2025:

  • Amarillo
  • Austin
  • Belton
  • Bryan
  • Canutillo
