Vancouver, BC, March 24, 2020 – Hollister Biosciences Inc. (CSE: HOLL, FRANKFURT: HOB) (the “Company” or “Hollister”) – through its Hollister Cannabis Co division, is stepping up to manufacture and distribute a few thousand bottles of hand sanitizer to Hollister, CA.
A statewide “shelter at home” mandate has been issued for California, putting a halt to non-essential manufacturing and delay in distribution. Cannabis retailers and manufacturers are considered essential businesses in California. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hollister is using its essential business standing and facility to source and produce hand sanitizer for its local community.
Hollister will be giving its first batch of hand sanitizer to the Hollister food bank. Multiple batches of hand sanitizer are expected to be delivered to community organizations over the next few weeks.
The CEO of Hollister Biosciences Inc, Carl Saling, shared: “The community of Hollister, CA is near and dear to our hearts, and as the first licensed cannabis company in the city of Hollister, CA, I feel that we must do whatever we can to help.
It infuriated me seeing companies price gouging much needed items, such as hand sanitizer. I am all for making money, but not at the expense of playing on people’s fears during a time of crisis. We just had to act.
We are going to focus on donating to the facilities that are often overlooked: the food bank, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and homeless shelters, where some of the most vulnerable are sheltering in place.
I am calling all business owners to step up in this time of crisis and do whatever you can to help your local community.”
