During this time of national crisis, Produce Alliance Foundation (PA Foundation) has provided direct and reliable access of nutritious food boxes to vulnerable communities.
The pandemic has emphasized the necessity of having a robust and equitable food system, where all Americans, regardless of where they live or how much they earn, can easily get access to nutritious fresh food and where the foodservice supply chain can integrate in this mission. We are a critical part of the solution set to provide hunger relief, grow jobs, and strengthen local economies, particularly in underinvested rural and urban communities.
Produce Alliance Foundation (PA Foundation) provides immediate access to boxes of fresh food (from re-deployed refrigerated distribution trucks) distributed directly to accessible points within the community. For example, church or school parking lots, doorsteps, bus routes, etc. These boxes can be customized to meet the needs of the communities they will go to. Customized as to the size, products, and documents placed in the boxes.
The fresh food that we have distributed over the last seven months and continue to distribute, has created a multilayered blanket of help, impacting the individuals and communities who received millions of boxes of fresh, healthful food, as well as offering a chance for resurrection for thousands of employees working in the fresh food supply chain.
