Branchfood x Off Their Plate Team Up to Provide F+B Products to COVID-19 Medical Workers

UPDATE: We requested product to be delivered in advance of May 4th. If you would like to get involved in future partnerships of this type, please email info@branchfood.com and we’ll add you to our list of brands to reach out to in the future!

Branchfood is thrilled to announce our partnership with Off Their Plate, a grassroots movement that was just stated in Boston and expanding nationally, to provide meals to frontline medical workers in partnership with leading restaurants. The organization is moving very fast as the pressure is quickly building on our hospitals.

Branchfood is teaming up to assemble Branch Fuel Packs complete with products donated from our members and CPG brands in our greater community. These packs will go to frontline medical workers, specifically those working with COVID patients, for nourishment and fuel throughout the day. It has not been widely reported that medical professionals are working 18-hour shifts and have little time to source healthy food. This is compounded by the issue that it is difficult for them to visit a grocery store as they could have been already infected with the virus. What they are doing for us is truly amazing and courageous and we want to support them as best we can. 

So what's the ask? We’re currently looking for donations of shelf-stable food/beverages that are individually pre-packed and ready to eat/drink. We'll take whatever amount of product you'd like to give. You can ship the product to Mei Mei, 506 Park Drive, Boston, MA 02215 (Att: Irene Li) or drop it off to Mei Mei Boston anytime 1pm-5pm, Monday through Friday, if you feel comfortable doing so.

What's in it for you? Your product will go to the heart of this fight where it is needed most and we want the world to know you contributed. Off Their Plate and Branchfood will be promoting this partnership for all involved, tagging you, your company, and thanking you for your contributions via social and through our media friends who will help share word. 

If you’re interested in donating your product, please send an email to info@branchfood.com with the following:

  1. Items being donated 

  2. Total number of units (1 product = 1 unit)

  3. Delivery Date and/or drop-off time

  4. Shipping service or if you will be dropping 

  5. Social media handles for tagging to promote your participation

It is an honor to be given the opportunity to support our neighbors in a small way for their heroic work and look forward to partnering with you to do so too! 

We can do more than stay at home. We can help take one thing off the plate of medical workers.

Thanks for your consideration of being involved!
