Native Roots’ commitment to giving back highlighted

The Colorado marijuana dispensary chain donated more than $25,000 to Chanda Plan Foundation, which provides healthcare services for people with disabilities that are not covered by insurance.

The donation came from a June Wellness Month promotion that dedicated a portion of sales of three different marijuana strains high in CBD, which is typically used to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

“We are so honored that Native Roots picked Chanda Plan Foundation for this opportunity,” said Chanda Hinton Leichtle, Executive Director of Chanda Plan Foundation. “This donation is far more than what we imagined, and we will be able to impact many individuals because of it.”

Colorado’s success in implementing a successful legal recreational marijuana industry is in part due to the commitment by small business owners to give back to their communities.

Native Roots, for instance, which has nearly two dozen medical and recreational dispensaries across the state, proved last year that being a strong corporate citizen is more than just a phrase on a wall. Its staff committed more than 450 hours of community service around the state, the company donated more than $15,750 to hurricane relief and workers participated in a variety of communities to plant trees, held clothing and food drives, and participated in neighborhood cleanups and voter registration drives.
