Cannabis Companies Unite to Support Veterans: A November of Giving with 6 Brick’s, Green Meadows & the Patton Alliance
Are you looking for ways cannabis businesses are giving back to the community? Or perhaps interested in the growing intersection of cannabis and veteran support? This article details a powerful partnership between two Massachusetts cannabis companies, 6 Brick’s and Green Meadows, and the Patton alliance for Veterans, showcasing a commitment to service, healing, and honoring those who served.
The cannabis industry is rapidly evolving, and with that evolution comes a growing sense of social responsibility. This November, that responsibility was powerfully demonstrated through a collaborative effort between 6 Brick’s, green Meadows, and the Patton Alliance for Veterans, resulting in a $6,550 donation to support vital veteran-focused initiatives nationwide. This isn’t just a story about a financial contribution; it’s a testament to shared values, a unique business alliance, and a dedication to serving those who have served us.
A Partnership Rooted in Service and Shared Values
6 Brick’s and Green Meadows, both independently owned Massachusetts cannabis companies, forged a partnership built on a foundation of service, community, and a belief in the healing potential of cannabis. Recognizing the challenges faced by veterans – both physical and mental – they united to raise awareness and provide crucial financial support through the Patton Alliance for Veterans.
Throughout November, the initiative saw 6 Brick’s donating $1 for every green Meadows, At Ease, or 6 Brick’s product sold.This direct contribution, totaling $6,550, will be allocated entirely to the Patton Alliance for Veterans’ charitable efforts. Beyond the financial commitment, 6 Brick’s extended a 10% discount to all veterans throughout the month, demonstrating a tangible expression of gratitude and making access to potential wellness solutions more accessible.
Voices from the Partnership
“It is a true honor to be able to continue this partnership,” stated Payton Shubrick, founder and CEO of 6 Brick’s. “our families and our companies go forward together in supporting America’s veterans in a unique partnership that allows 6 Brick’s, our customers, and my family to support those who can never be thanked enough. many veterans of all ages and eras of service come to us as part of their health regimen. They are so supportive of our alliance with the Patton family.”
Robert ‘Bob’ Patton, chairman and co-founder of Green Meadows, echoed this sentiment, adding, “The Patton family and Green Meadows are proud to again partner with the Shubrick family and 6 brick’s on this meaningful initiative to our family, legacy, and veterans. While we work together year-round to deliver high-quality cannabis and customer service to our communities,this November campaign has become integral to our family and business’ mission. Supporting the Patton Alliance for Veterans allows our partnership to extend beyond the cannabis industry and toward a shared mission of service to those who gave us everything.”
A unique Alliance: Diversity, Unity, and Resilience
What makes this partnership particularly compelling is the diverse backgrounds of the companies involved. 6 Brick’s stands as a proud Black-owned and women-owned business, representing a growing wave of entrepreneurship within the cannabis industry. Green Meadows, on the other hand, carries a legacy of military service, founded by a family descended from General George S. Patton, a pivotal figure in World War II.
this collaboration beautifully illustrates the diversity,unity,and resilience that define the American story. The upcoming 80th anniversary of Gen. Patton’s passing on December 21st serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by generations of American service members.
Expanding the Impact: Beyond the Donation
Green Meadows’ commitment extends beyond this November campaign. Through affiliated nonprofit initiatives,they actively support organizations like Stop Soldier Suicide (https://www.stopsoldiersuicide.org/) and the Black Veterans Project (https://www.blackveteransproject.org/), amplifying the impact of their partnership with 6 Brick’s and the Patton Alliance for Veterans. These organizations provide critical resources and support to veterans facing unique challenges.
The growing recognition of cannabis as a potential therapeutic tool for veterans is also noteworthy. Research is ongoing, but anecdotal evidence and preliminary studies suggest cannabis may offer relief from conditions common among veterans, such as PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia.
