NCG is pleased to announce the results of our June cause promotion for Vote Hemp featured in the June A Co+op Deals flyer. The promotion was supported by Dr. Bronner’s, Manitoba Harvest, Nutiva, Living Harvest and Nature’s Path who all pledged to donate 1% of sales at NCG co-ops during the month of June to Vote Hemp. Their donation was then matched by NCG for a grand total of $11,224.
Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue non-profit advocacy group founded by members of the hemp industry to remove barriers to industrial hemp farming in the U.S. through education, legislation and advocacy. Learn more at VoteHemp.com.
