A new partnership will provide 50 veterans with jobs. Curaleaf is working with Mass Fallen Heroes and Project New Hope. The marijuana dispensary is adding full and part time jobs at its grow and manufacturing facility in Webster.
They say at a time when many other businesses are closing because of the pandemic, they're able to expand and want to provide jobs to people who served our country. Curaleaf also donated almost $10,000 in funds to veterans groups.
"It comes from the proceeds of our Veteran Cannabis Project products, that’s a brand of products. A dollar of every sale goes to Veterans Cannabis Project and Mass Fallen Heroes," said Curaleaf president, Patrik Jonsson.
Curaleaf makes donations almost every month to the local veteran’s organizations.
