“It is amazing to see the positive impact that a Christmas toy or Thanksgiving turkey can have on a family,” said Michael Lee, CEO of Empire. “As members of the Inland Empire community, we believe we have a responsibility to give back and lift up others.”
“Community outreach is, and will continue to be, a cornerstone for Empire as we expand operations throughout the region,” Lee continued. “As residents see first-hand how a responsible and licensed cannabis operator can be a benefit to the local community, the negative stigma surrounding the industry is rapidly fading.”
