There is a long tradition in Humboldt County of supporting locally-owned businesses and artisans. Building upon our already strong tradition of localized self-reliance, we ask Humboldt County’s cannabis farmers to help create a more robust nonproft sector by encouraging a culture of “Giving Local.” Generous community support for local nonproft organizations is critical to ensuring that the many social, environmental, and economic services provided to our community are maintained in the face of challenging economic times.

Through the months of November and December, HCGA’s members challenge our community to pick local nonprofts to give generously–this can be a donation of money, time, or supplies. Members post a picture to Instagram, tag the nonprofts they’re donating to, and then tag fve friends, challenging them to do the same.
