Strain Station plans to extend its efforts into building a strong community benefit. <br />As a member of SACA, since inception, SACA/Strain Station will be working with the Santa <br />Ana Unified School District to help fund youth diversion programs and after school programs. <br />We are currently discussing this with school board members. <br />As well, we currently have a strong food donation program and contribution to local Santa Ana <br />food banks. We hold drives throughout the year to help ones in need within the community and <br />plan to deliver more in 2018! We offer clothing and furniture donations to the local goodwills as <br />well. <br />Strain Stations goal is always to be on time, make sure the community is benefiting and since <br />opening, has been spot on. Payment on all taxes must be made in timely order, before deadlines, <br />and with adult use taxes, the same. Strain Station plans on: <br />-hiring locally, keeping staff and employees locally sourced from schools and communities <br />around Santa Ana. Keeping a staff on hand that is multi lingual to help with the diverse <br />community is a great bonus as welt. <br />-Using contractors and vendors locally. We love the fact that we can keep the business local and <br />home grown. From medicinal vendors to signage, plumbing, and day to day needs. <br />-Make a routine to hold food and supply drives for the local who are in need. Being present at <br />local food banks and shelters with supplies that are essential to those less fortunate in our <br />community. <br />-With SACA, funding a great youth diversion program to help with after school needs for the at <br />risk and less fortunate youth in the community. Working as an organization will have a bigger, <br />and deeper impact on the community as well. <br />-Be thorough with all city codes and regulations, along with state ordinances that will be <br />emerging as time goes on. Staying apprised of new regulations that will come to light with <br />vendors, manufacturing, etc. E C E I V E <br />DEC 2 6 2097 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />
