DENVER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Produce Alliance Foundation to Deliver Nutritious #ProduceBoxProject to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center
and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children
WhatChefsWant! and Produce Alliance, LLC Keep Supply Chain Open

The Produce Alliance Foundation, the charity arm of Produce Alliance, LLC and their distributor What Chefs Want! will continue into week five of their national effort to keep the important produce supply chain open and running by providing nutritious relief to frontline responders through distributing fresh produce boxes to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in Denver, Colo. on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 7:00 am at the Main Drive/Entrance.

The Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, along with other frontline responders, are working excruciating hours during the COVID-19 pandemic and to acknowledge their hard work will receive a special produce box when they leave their shift. Over the past five weeks, the deliveries from Produce Box Project: Nourish Our Frontlines will have served over 3200 frontline workers and over 60,000 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruit. 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 donors on The Produce Alliance Foundation’s GoFundMe page https://youtu.be/MFRBJ6_5WNM.
