• Donate Funds to Local Nonprofits <br />• Support City Programs and City Improvements <br />• Environmental and Sustainability Practices <br />PROVIDE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES <br />We are dedicated to hiring 50% local residents for the staffing, including management positions. <br />We understand that operating successfully and hiring locally stimulates the local economy and <br />contributes positively to economic development. We have developed a robust Labor, Diversity <br />and Inclusion Plan. The plan paves the way for us to partner with several local non -profits, whose <br />focus is on providing employment opportunities to those most in need. Additionally, we provide a <br />comprehensive Employee Training and Continuing Education Program to each employee, to <br />ensure that customers are not misguided, and cannabis is not misused. <br />CONTRIBUTE VOLUNTEER HOURS <br />We encourage employees to give of themselves through volunteer work. We offer all employees <br />paid time off, in order to volunteer with a local organization of their choosing. <br />Example Volunteer Opportunities <br />Senior Centers <br />Aside from employee -led volunteer hours, we organize storewide service projects, to give back <br />to the community while providing a team building activity. We are a proud supporter of Senior <br />Centers statewide and commits to organizing volunteer hours with a local Senior Center. We have <br />identified the Santa Ana Senior Center as a potential location to volunteer. We know that not all <br />seniors in Santa Ana have access to health care, so we'll also provide seniors in the local <br />community with a public lecture series focused on how cannabis can help seniors with health <br />issues as alternative treatment for chronic illness, as well as a senior discount on our products. <br />CONDUCT COMMUNITY OUTREACH <br />We believe that community outreach is accomplished in a variety of ways. Attending community <br />events, sponsoring community events, and hosting community events are all forms of effective <br />community outreach. <br />OPERATE DONATION DRIVES <br />With the large homeless population in the City of Santa Ana, there is no doubt that local families <br />struggle with nutrition and food insecurity. To combat this very serious problem, we will conduct <br />one annual canned food drives at our location. Guests, staff members and community members <br />at large may bring canned food items to us, and we will collect and deliver all the non-perishable <br />donations to Cantlay Food Distribution Center. Teaming up with this well-known organization will <br />provide an opportunity for us to reach more community members in need. <br />SUPPORT CITY PROGRAMS AND CITY IMPROVEMENTS <br />Funding for Enforcement Against Illegal Cannabis Operations <br />We are a full supporter of decreasing the number of illegal cannabis operations operating in the <br />Santa Ana area. The only way for legal cannabis business owners to be successful, and to ensure <br />
