As U.S. residents adapt in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak, the team at Progressive Produce has been working around the clock to continue the supply of fresh produce to its customers big and small since this pandemic swept through the nation in recent weeks.
Many of the Progressive employees that can work from home quickly pitched in at all hours of the day to take orders, pay bills and keep the systems safe so that its customers are taken care of in the best way possible.
And the true Progressive heros --those who cannot work from home, such as forklift drivers, packers, warehouse supervisors, maintenance staff, and food safety professionals -- have taken on the responsibility that comes with being on the front line to keep the nation's food supply flowing.
"We have an unwavering commitment to deliver excellence during this critical time,” said Jim Leimkuhler, CEO of Progressive Produce. “We are proud to say that Progressive's mission has never before shined so brightly. We will all get through this together. In the meantime, keep yourself safe, your family safe, and we look forward to brighter days ahead for all.”
