Cannapreneur to Donate 450 Sandwiches to New England Center for Homeless Veterans, 300 Sandwiches to Boston’s Pine Street Inn and 250 Additional Sandwiches to Those in Need in the Boston Area

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cannapreneur Partners (Cannapreneur), a leading cannabis holding company specializing in early-stage startup investments, announced it will donate 1,000 sandwiches from New York Deli and Arturo’ Ristorante in Westborough, Massachusetts to help feed those in need in the Boston area on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

Additionally, Cannapreneur team members, along with Army Sgt. Bill Duggan, a co-founder of adult-use cannabis dispensary “Joint Operations” (name pending approval/JWTC Wick), will distribute the sandwiches to those in need at New England Center for Homeless Veterans, Pine Street Inn and throughout downtown Boston. During a time when people are spending time with friends and family, the Cannapreneur team will also aim to hold meaningful conversations and personally connect with veterans and homeless individuals to enhance a sense of community and hope during a time when many are lacking a sense of comradery.

Cannapreneur will be volunteering with the following organizations:

• New England Center for Homeless Veterans, a service and care provider for former military servicemen and women, offers a broad array of programs and services that enable success, reintegration, meaningful employment and independent living.
  • 17 Court Street #2601 Boston, MA 02108
  • Thursday, November 26, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. ET

• Pine Street Inn, an organization that assists formerly homeless individuals in retaining housing. The organization provides street outreach, emergency services, supportive housing, job training and connections to employment.
  • 444 Harrison Ave. Boston, MA 02118
  • Friday, November 27, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. ET

“Creating a sense of comradery and helping those who are struggling during this time of year is a critical part of giving back to our community, especially with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” said Michael Scott, co-CEO of Cannapreneur Partners. “By partnering with impactful organizations such as New England Center for Homeless Veterans and Pine Street Inn, we hope to make a difference in the lives of homeless individuals, veterans and others in the communities that we look forward to serving.”

“Having served on the frontlines in Afghanistan, the veteran community is very near and dear to my heart,” said Army Sgt. and co-founder of JWTC Wick Bill Duggan. “Many veterans suffer from severe depression and PTSD, and through our work with Cannapreneur Partners, our goal is to provide support to these individuals who have supported our nation so much over the years. By spending time giving back this holiday, we can better connect with the veterans’ community and share ways to empower them and their families.”

Cannapreneur Partners also recently announced a joint venture with two veteran-owned and operated cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts: JWTC Wick and Noble Mana LLC. The newly formed joint venture will support the veteran’s community by supplementing the costs of cannabis products at JWTC Wick’s dispensary and Noble Manna LLC’s dispensary upon opening; giving back a portion of dispensary profits to help widen access to cannabis for veterans; and launching a veterans-focused mentorship program to broaden veterans’ professional skill sets, drive retention in the workplace and open up access to key networks.
