Hometown Hero Honors Vets on Memorial Day By Donating a Portion of Holiday Sales to K9s for Warriors
24 Mayo 2024 - 10:34AM
Hometown Hero, the veteran-supporting cannabusiness of hemp-derived
THC and cannabidiol-based products, today announced it will donate
10% of all sales from May 26-27 to K9s for Warriors. Funds raised
through holiday weekend sales will directly support K9s for
Warriors’ mission to end veteran suicide by providing highly
trained service dogs.
“As Memorial Day approaches, Hometown Hero recognizes the
importance of honoring those fallen heroes who have served our
country,” said Lukas Gilkey, cofounder of Hometown Hero and a U.S.
Coast Guard veteran. “K9s for Warriors does incredible work in our
community, and we are honored to contribute to their efforts. We
encourage everyone to join us in supporting our veterans during
this special Memorial Day event.”
Since its founding, Hometown Hero has supported organizations
dedicated to helping veterans and their families, including
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and Operation
Finally Home, among others. The company also provides a 15%
discount to active and retired military service members on its
premium line of hemp-derived and cannabidiol-based products, which
are increasingly being used by veterans as an alternative to
opioids.
“We recognize the profound sacrifices made by our veterans,”
added Gilkey. “It is our mission to support their wellness by
providing access and discounts to hemp-derived cannabinoids, which
are benefiting veterans across the country.”
Last year, Hometown Hero donated $35,000 to K9s for Warriors to
sponsor a pup named Delta to help a veteran in need. Delta, who was
named after the elite Delta Force fighting unit, graduated in
October from the K9's For Warriors training program and is making
an incredible impact.
