Keany Produce and Produce Alliance Keeping the Supply Chain Open

The Produce Alliance Foundation, the charity arm of Produce Alliance, LLC and distributor Keany Produce, will continue into week four 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. The delivery will be on Thursday, April 23, 2020, at 6:30 am at the GW University Yard - located between 20th and 21st streets on H street, NW.

The George Washington University Hospital and The GW Medical Faculty Associates faculty and staff, along with other frontline responders are working tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic and to acknowledge their hard work, the first 200 employees will receive a special produce box. Over the past four weeks, the deliveries from Produce Box Project: Nourish Our Frontlines will have served over 3000 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 donation to the Produce Alliance Foundation by The Ahearn Family.
