Veteran Appreciation — Every Tuesday <br />Purple Hollistic pays tribute to our military veterans. With so many veterans who rely on cannabis, often <br />for service -related injuries or ailments, it can be very impactful to offer them a large discount on adult - <br />use cannabis. The dispensary offers a 20% discount for veterans every Tuesday. <br />Senior Day — Every Tuesday <br />This is a great way to get senior citizens involved in natural health remedies. This consists of a weekly <br />program that is every Tuesday and allows all senior citizens to get a 20% discount on cannabis product <br />and we have wellness advisors give educational advice on the cannabis products to help their certain <br />needs. The human interaction alone is the reason that many of our senior citizens keep coming back. <br />They know our wellness advisors by name and vice versa (in our two affiliate stores in Santa Ana). <br />Community Involvement <br />The company will provide appropriate, discrete community involvement and recently donated to the <br />organizations below: <br />• Our Director Christopher Francy has donated $2,000 to KidWorks beginning those donations in <br />2017. <br />• Our Director Christopher Francy currently volunteers at Kidworks tutoring Math <br />• Our Director Christopher Francy donated $500 to Orange County Community Housing <br />Corporation in December 2017, a non-profit based in Santa Ana. <br />Commitment to Employing Santa Ana Residents <br />Purple Hollistic agrees to use its reasonable efforts to hire qualified City of Santa Ana residents living in <br />Santa Ana to work at its adult -use cannabis retail business.
