Food Box Program:
Support Frontline Workers

 

As numbers continue to rise and cases of COVID-19 extend across the country, we think it’s more important than ever to honor and support our incredible healthcare workers on the frontlines of this crisis working to keep us safe. 

Produce Alliance Foundation (PA Foundation) provides immediate access to boxes of fresh food (from re-deployed refrigerated distribution trucks) distributed in parking lots of healthcare and other essential facilities for workers leaving their shifts. As of December 2020, PA Foundation has raised more than $651,200 in donated funds and have delivered to 69 institutions, including hospitals and law enforcement. We devised this program as the effects of the pandemic were first taking shape, and to date, have served over 20,000 front line responders and provided 500 thousand pounds of produce across the Nation.  

 
 
 
 
 

 
My husband is a security officer at William Beaumont Hospital and has been working through the pandemic every day. His current 12 hour shifts make it tricky to be able to secure fresh produce from our local grocery store and the generous, fresh, amazing box of fruit and vegetables he just brought home is a true blessing! Thank you for all you do, it’s more appreciated than you know!”
