Denver Relief’ s Green Team Wants You: Help Them Make A Difference
How a Single MMC is Impacting Colorado in a Big Way
Denver Relief’ s owners Kayvan Khalatbari, Ean Seeb and Nick Hice aren’ t just about providing some of the best medical cannabis in Colorado, they are also helping our community in every way they can. That’ s where The Green Team comes in.
The Green Team was established in 2009, at that same time Denver Relief came to be.“ Even before we founded Denver Relief, each of us was focused on giving back to the communities in which we live,” Seeb told THC mag.
Since its inception, The Green Team has had more than 100 volunteers providing help in a variety of avenues for the community, including providing clean up for the 420 Rally at the Capitol every year since 2009, collecting more than 500 bags of trash. They have also raised more than $ 1500 for quite a few charitable causes including: The Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America, The American Cancer Society, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Denver Kids. Denver Kids is a cause that is very near and dear to Kayvan as he has been mentoring a young man there for more than five years. In fact, Kayvan has promised to match sponsorship dollars raised by The Green Team to go to the thirteen year old to be used solely as a scholarship fund for his higher education.
They have also been holding an ongoing food drive at the center in which they have a 55-gallon drum wrapped with the words“ Need some food? Take some food. Have some food? Leave some food.” Outside of their dispensary they work with a local CSA farm and help with their gardening. Last year they held three different functions helping them harvest local food to supply to local food pantries with fresh, raw, organic produce, herbs
and spices for those in need.
Among some of the other great events they hold is a free bicycle and wheelchair repair clinic. Professional bike techs have provided parts and tuneups for over 210 wheelchairs and bikes. They also provide free grow classes for fledgling horticulturists.
If you would like to be a volunteer for this great organization you can go to their Facebook page at facebook. com / denverreliefgreenteam( QR code below), send an email to info @ denverrelief. com or call the dispensary directly at 303- 420-MEDS.
Or if you are one of those lastminute patients just go to The Green Team tent the day of the rally.
Volunteers will get a free Green Team t-shirt just for being there. Also, for every filled trash bag brought back to the tent, volunteers get two free slice cards for Sexy Pizza. They will also be giving away prizes for those who collect the most trash. Prizes are being provided by all of the different sponsors of The Green Team listed below which includes a number of other community focused MMJ businesses who have joined up with The Green Team to make a difference.
