During a time of uncertainty and limited operational services of foodservice outlets, PRO*ACT and its distributors are bringing fresh produce boxes to communities across the US through partnerships with foodservice operators, local independent restaurants, online ordering, and curbside pickup.
Consumers are able to avoid crowds and practice social-distancing by ordering pre-packed boxes of fruit and vegetables that feed a family of four for up to a week through participating restaurants and distributors and picking them up curbside. We are proud to be a part of a network that takes action in caring for and connecting our communities.
Want to become a Pick-Up Location, or partner with our distributors on fresh produce box opportunities? Please contact Mackenzie Lovelace (mlovelace@proactusa.com) for more information.
Produce Box Direct
Many of our distributors are taking advantage of the ‘Produce Box Direct’ program, where consumers can order repacked boxes of fresh produce directly from the website, select a pick-up location and pay online, then pick-up directly! They can then pick their order up curbside and avoid bustling grocery stores. Boxes can be ordered directly through www.produceboxdirect.com
