Premium chocolate manufacturer GODIVA has been coordinating to give back to frontline workers around the world. In the past few weeks, the company has donated chocolate, coffee and other treats to hospitals, supporting hospital workers, doctors, nurses and caregivers.

In addition to its donations to hospitals in the United States, GODIVA has sent packages to hospital workers, doctors and nurses in hospitals and facilities in areas where the brand has a strong presence to support its local communities - China, Belgium, United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Announced today, GODIVA has also partnered with the Tenet Healthcare Corporation, a diversified healthcare services company, and HCA Healthcare, one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare services, to donate over 600,000 pieces of chocolate to both hospital networks across the country.
