Our Community Outreach Program grew significantly in 2025 and made a tremendous positive impact. We are incredibly grateful to all of the patients and caregivers who pitched in to help us elevate this program to the next level!
We raised money for 11 different organizations last year and made substantial donations to each. Thanks to your support, we were able to donate almost $27,000 to these worthy causes, plus 20 boxes of food and 15 boxes of toys.
Here are the annual totals:
- Patient and caregiver donations – $16,035.24
- Total funds matched – $10,441.79
- Cannaversary Ring Toss – $500
- TOTAL DONATIONS – $26,977.03 + food and toys!
That is $7,255 more than we donated in 2024, and we have now donated over $100,000 to organizations that do important work in our communities since 2021!
2025 Year In Review
We thought we would begin the year by taking a few months off in early 2025, but patients and caregivers wanted to donate anyway, so we were happy to accept! We collected $603 at the Chichester dispensary and donated it to the Chichester Firefighter Association. In Merrimack, we collected $700 and donated it to Manchester True Collaborative.
In April, we formally re-launched our revamped Community Outreach program and collected $1,308 for the Parkinson’s Foundation. GraniteLeaf matched those donations for a total contribution of $2,616. We also sponsored their “Moving Day” event in Manchester.
For our May outreach project, we collected $1,494.08 for the national MS Society We matched those donations and rounded up for a total contribution of $3,000. This was our first time partnering with a great new N.H.-based non-profit, Locke’s Promise, and we look forward to working with them again in 2026. We also sponsored two of their events in 2025, Climb the Peak for MS and Rides and Wranglers!
In June, we turned our attention to raising money for an awesome local organization called Less Leg, More Heart. Patients and caregivers donated $1,222.15, and we matched that, rounding up for a total contribution of $2,500. We also sponsored their Fire Truck Pull event that raised money to support local amputees.
July was another great month! We collected $1,763.72 for Darbster Foundation at the dispensaries and matched that, rounding up to $3,600. We enjoyed working with them, and we greatly appreciated them bringing some very friendly dogs to our Cannaversary Celebration.
Our efforts continued in August, when we collected $1,858.54 to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). GraniteLeaf matched those donations for a total contribution of $3,800. Separately, we also sponsored two of their “Out of the Darkness” Community Walks.
AFSP was very grateful for our efforts. We attended their end-of-year gala and were honored to receive this “Prevention Champion” award!
We kept the outreach train rolling in September, collecting $1,283.59 for Azimuth Check Foundation (ACF). After matching the donations, we rounded up for a total contribution of $2,600. ACF will use our donations to help injured warriors achieve wellness by providing challenging and rewarding events such as rock climbing, ice climbing, and deep sea fishing.
In October, we collected $1,744.27 for another great organization, the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition (NHBCC). We matched that and rounded up for a total donation of $3,500!
In November, we changed gears and focused on a food drive to benefit The Friendly Kitchen. Patients and caregivers donated 20 boxes of food, and we also collected $1,484.51 in cash donations to help feed families and individuals in need.
Last, but certainly not least, we closed out the year with our 6th Annual Toy Drive. We collected 15 boxes of toys and donated them to our allies at Nashua PAL, who distributed the toys to children. In addition to toys, we collected $2,573.52 in donations (a new record!) for Nashua PAL.
Again, we can’t thank our patients and caregivers enough for contributing to these campaigns. Together, we are making an important and meaningful impact in the communities we serve! Our program is already off to a great start in 2026, and we are already halfway into our January Winter Clothing Drive.
We look forward to making an even bigger impact in 2026. Thank you for your support!
