Marijuana dispensary Shangri-La recently urged its customers to bring a different type of herb to its locations in Columbia and Jefferson City in support of the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri.
The locations were holding a drive to collect herbs, spices and food for the food bank’s VIP Veteran Pack program known as a “Herb for Herb” drive.
Customers donated more than 1,111 pounds of food, spices and herbs, and collection continues through Sunday. The Columbia Superstore at 1401 Creekwood Parkway collected 533 pounds, Columbia South at 3919 Peachtree Drive collected 237 pounds and the Jefferson City location at 2118 Missouri Blvd. collected 341 pounds.
“Shangri-La’s customers really showed up to support The Food Bank’s Mission, bringing together community resources to feed people in need. These donations make a huge difference for those that we serve. Shangri-La’s continued support of The Food Bank is very much appreciated,” said Clay Stem, Food and Fund Drive Coordinator for The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri.
Veteran Packs are monthly food boxes and personal care items provided to veterans.
“Shangri-La and its customers love to give back to the community. We’re thrilled with the enthusiastic participation from our Jefferson City and both Columbia locations,” said Nevil Patel, Shangri-La Dispensaries CEO.
