Balsam Hill Makes Bulk Groceries Available Online Through Balsam Provisions
Christmas Tree Company Shifts E-commerce to Support Stay at Home Orders - Profits go to Charity
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Balsam Hill, renowned for its meticulously designed, lifelike, artificial Christmas Trees, introduces Balsam Provisions, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Balsam Provisions is a new way for consumers to shop nonperishable food and household supplies without the grocery store. By repurposing its existing e-commerce infrastructure at warehouses, partnering with restaurant suppliers, and using its strong relationship with FedEx, Balsam Provisions offers bulk quantities of food and home essentials to be shipped directly to consumers. Any profits from Balsam Provisions sales will be donated to food banks including Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.
Balsam Provisions offers seven-pound cans of baked beans, two packs of 50-ounce cans of chicken noodle soup, 12 packs of paper towels, 25-pound bags of all-purpose white flour, 10- pound bags of various pastas, 60-roll packs of toilet paper and much more. Prices include product cost and FedEx shipping and handling charges to the contiguous 48 states.
"Shopping at Balsam Provisions puts food that was supposed to go to now-closed restaurants to good use while taking the pressure off strained grocery stores," said Balsam Hill CEO Mac Harman. "It's also another option to get food into the homes of people who, due to age or health conditions, should not go out."
Each year, Balsam Hill deliver tens of thousands of Christmas trees and décor items to customers nationwide. Since the holiday season is its busiest time of year, the company has extra capacity in Spring and Summer. This allows the company to temporarily repurpose its existing warehouses and delivery infrastructure to ship household essentials to customers' doorsteps across the United States.
About Balsam Brands
