Broward Health Imperial Point healthcare workers will get a bountiful donation from the Produce Alliance Foundation on Thursday, April 23. The charitable arm of Produce Alliance, LLC, and its distributor Premier Produce have teamed up with Broward Health Foundation to provide fresh produce for caregivers and support staff at Broward Health Imperial Point in Fort Lauderdale.

The “Produce Box Project: Nourish Our Frontlines” donation is part of Produce Alliance Foundation’s national effort to keep the vital produce supply chain operating by providing nutritious relief to front line responders. The fresh produce will be shared with the healthcare workers at the hospital’s intensive care unit, emergency services department, progress care unit and the support staff in those departments.

“This gift of perishables will help further sustain our hardworking healthcare heroes as they endeavor to care for our community,” said Bill Diggs, president of the Broward Health Foundation. The Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Fund has coordinated a number of in-kind donations of meals and medical supplies for Broward Health caregivers and staff since the COVID-19 outbreak in South Florida. Donations can be made to BrowardHealth.org/COVIDRelief.

Over the past four weeks, the Produce Box Project has benefited more than 4,000 front line workers with over 60,000 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruit. An added by-product of this effort is that it helps protect businesses and farms from shuttering because of the pandemic. The “Produce Box Project: Nourish Our Frontlines” is made possible through the generous donations to Produce Alliance Foundation.
