Curaleaf’s Arizona dispensaries have partnered with United Food Bank and Nourish PHX charities for their Feed the Block fundraiser this year. This charitable initiative runs from August 1st to August 31st.
Curaleaf’s Feed the Block program has invited medical cannabis patients and adult-use cannabis consumers to round up their dispensary purchases to the nearest dollar. Then, Curaleaf matches 25% of these donations to raise funds for state-selected charities, including food banks, workforce development centers, and nonprofit social enterprises. Since 2020, over $455,000 has been raised by Curaleaf to combat food insecurity.
Nearly one in ten Americans live in households where there is sometimes or often not enough food to eat. Donations to food banks often dwindle in the summer months, but they are especially needed ahead of the start of the school year which is why this initiative is especially impactful.
