WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, April 7, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Produce Alliance, LLC and its Foundation Delivering
Nutritious Produce Boxes to Frontline Healthcare Workers
National Kickoff of the Produce Box Project: Nourish Our Frontlines
to be held in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday

Produce Alliance, LLC and Produce Alliance Foundation will kick off a national effort of nutritious relief in Washington, D.C. to distribute fresh produce boxes to frontline medical responders working excruciating hours to help stave off the crushing wave of COVID-19 cases. The first delivery, a pilot, was held last week at Illinois Masonic in Chicago and it was overwhelmingly successful delivering 150 fresh produce boxes the first day and requested an additional sixty-one for the following day.

Produce Alliance has teamed up with their network of produce growers, distributors and donors to put together the produce distribution. Using their supply chain expertise, Produce Alliance’s plan is to get 200 boxes of high-quality fresh fruit and vegetables into the hands of frontline hospital employees as they leave their shift this evening, making shopping one less thing they need to worry about. Additional focus of this effort is keeping people working in multiple industries, preventing businesses and farms from shutting down and allowing people to do good during times of crisis.

Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2020
Time: 5:45 pm – 6:30 pm -Truck unloading
7:00 pm Distribution begins
(Boxes will be distributed in the patio area directly in front of the hospital’s main entrance along Michigan Ave.)

Location: Children’s National Hospital; 111 Michigan Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20010

Notes for Media: Representatives from Keany Produce and Gourmet (member of the Produce Alliance, LLC network) and Children’s National Hospital will be on-site to interview.
