this year—with the pandemic contributing to a 50% increase over 2019. Many families and individuals are just one unexpected expense away from finding themselves unable to fill their plate. That’s why we’re asking our friends to join us... **Feed the Block: Every leaf brings relief!** Now through December 5th, 2020, we’re collecting donations to feed our neighbors in each of the communities where we live and work. Due to the implications of Covid-19, many food banks will only accept cash donations at this time. That said, we’ve made it easy for you to help. When you visit our dispensary, simply tell a Curaleaf associate that you’d like to “Feed the Block.” All donors will be invited to sign their own leaf to highlight their support!18:T658,Our collective fundraising efforts will provide food assistance through the following partners in each of the following states: - Arizona: Paradise Valley Emergency Food Bank, Waste Not - Arkansas: Potluck Food Rescue - Colorado: Metro Caring - Connecticut: Hands on Hartford - Florida: The ISeeYou Foundation - Illinois: Growing Home - Massachusetts: Friendly House, Inc - Maryland: Gangster Vegan - Maine: Kaydenz Kitchen Food Pantry - Michigan: Food Gatherers, Loaves and Fishes - Nevada: Vegas Roots - New Jersey: Borough of Bellmawr - New York: Long Island Homeless Coalition, Local at Heart, Plattsburgh Rotary - North Dakota: Great Plains Food Bank - Ohio: The Food Pantry Network, Akron Canton Food Bank - Oregon: Equitable Giving Circle - Pennsylvania: Central PA
