EXHIBIT A <br />COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN <br />Community Benefit and Sustainable Business Practices Plan <br />Okie Tokie deeply values Santa Ana community, especially its residents. As such, Okie <br />Tokie is committed to supporting the City and its events and programs, community -based <br />groups, schools and non -profits as well as prioritizing local hiring and business partnership <br />practices. Our donations will commence once our businesses are profitable and able to <br />sustain operations for 3 months. <br />Likewise, Okie Tokie has adopted clean, green business practices and seeks to partner with <br />cannabis businesses who also value sustainability. <br />Commitment to Support Community -Based Groups <br />Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the <br />person who serves as well as the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and <br />develop. Dorothy Height, Civil Rights Activist, Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient <br />(1994) and Congressional Gold Medal (2004). <br />Schools <br />Okie Tokie knows that children are the future and highly values quality public education. <br />Accordingly, we are committed to donating $15,000.00 annually to the Santa Ana Public <br />School Foundation, which develops financial resources for programs and activities that will <br />maximize student achievement, including support for preforming arts, technology, sciences, <br />athletics, scholarships and educators. To the extent the Santa Ana School District permits us <br />to take a more active role in supporting their needs, Okie Tokie will continue to explore these <br />options with the School District directly. <br />Orange County Rescue Mission <br />Okie Tokie is dedicated to supporting those who need it most. To that end, we have selected <br />the Orange County Rescue Mission to support on an annual basis by donating at least <br />$15,000.00 in cash and items on the Mission's "Urgent Needs" list on a quarterly basis, to <br />support the Mission's efforts to rehome, educate and train vulnerable individuals in the <br />community. <br />Additionally, we will donate at least 10 hours of community service time per employee per <br />year to the Orange County Rescue Mission and compensate our staff during their volunteer <br />time. We believe that community service enhances character, and so, we are committed to <br />helping our employees grow into the best version of themselves. <br />Community Support: Local Hiring and Local Business <br />0 <br />
