Health Alliance Plan's East Central office in Flint kicked-off its second annual "Boots for Kids" winter boot drive in November 2009 to prevent local children from facing a bitter cold winter without a warm pair of boots to protect their feet.
With the help of community partners throughout Genesee, Huron, Bay, Saginaw and St. Clair counties, HAP collected 260 pairs of boots ($5,000 estimated value) and distributed them to Carriage Town Ministries of Flint, City Rescue Michigan of Saginaw, Love INC of Greater Lapeer and Pathway Shelter of Port Huron.
