PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO, IL– April 14, 2020 — Produce Alliance, LLC and their charity arm, the Produce Alliance Foundation and distributors will continue their national effort to keep the important produce supply chain open and running by providing nutritious relief through distributing fresh produce boxes to five communities across the country.  On April 15 and 16, frontline medical responders  in Los Angeles, Palm Beach Gardens, Denver, Chicago and Washington, D.C. who are working excruciating hours to help stave off the crushing wave of COVID-19 cases will receive a special produce box when they leave their shift.

The Produce Alliance has already conducted a pilot delivery effort at Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago and the national kickoff was held at Children’s National in Washington, D.C. Produce Alliance Foundation and its donors have to date been able to deliver almost 500 produce boxes to front line medical workers and will continue to delivery to those workers who are in the fight to help keep America safe.  This week the total number of deliveries from Produce Box Project will have served over 2000 Frontline workers. An added by-product of this effort is keeping the supply working in multiple industries, preventing businesses and farms from shutting down and allowing people to do good during times of crisis.

Project Produce Box: Nourish Our Frontlines was made possible through the generous donation to the Produce Alliance Foundation by individuals listed below.

Notes for Media:  Representatives from each distributor, who are members of the Produce Alliance, LLC network, and a hospital representative will be on site to interview at the deliveries that are open to media. Events not open to the public, hospitals will release photographs and video. Produce Alliance and Foundation President Melissa Ackerman is available for remote interview to discuss the important role Produce Alliance has in keeping America’s supply chain running.

As recommended by the CDC, we will be practicing social distancing and wearing personal face coverings and ask that you practice accordingly.
