Dear Staff,
We are excited to announce a new benefit for all employees: the opportunity to subscribe to a box of fresh, local fruits and vegetables delivered [insert frequency] to our hospital campus.

Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between a local farm and a community of supporters that wish to support local agriculture and secure for themselves a reliable, healthy, and sustainable source of food.
The benefits of participating in this program include:
- Access to fresh fruits and veggies delivered right to your place of work.
- Discover new types of fruits and veggies and new ways to cook healthier for yourself or your family.
- Increasing your intake of fruits and veggies will help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol, and even support concentration and memory.
- Eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing your meat intake, and buying locally reduces your carbon footprint and helps support a healthy environment.
At [insert health system name] we strive to support resilient communities and healthy employees. Our participation in this CSA will help us accomplish both of these goals.
