PORTLAND, Ore. — Lazarus Naturals was founded on the mission that CBD should be effective and accessible to help those who need it the most. Today, the company announced an Independence Day partnership with New American Pathways in Atlanta, Georgia, to help support legal refugees on their journey to citizenship and resettlement in the United States. Lazarus Naturals will join together with their customers to donate 10 percent of online sales between July 3-5, 2021 to help refugees starting a new life in the United States.
“As both a Certified B Corporation and the “Made to Work. Made for All” CBD brand, we’re excited to partner with New American Pathways to extend a hand to help support legal refugees starting a new life in the United States, “ said Sequoia Price-Lazarus, CEO and founder of Lazarus Naturals. “We know our customers will join us to make this partnership a huge success and honor our commitment to giving back to organizations that share our mission to help those in need.”
In the coming months, New American Pathways will be rebuilding capacity to prepare for increased refugee arrivals while navigating the pandemic and the overwhelming needs within the community they serve. “As we work to restore our refugee resettlement program to levels it was prior to 2017, we are committed to serving newly arriving families and providing needed support to refugees and immigrants who are already here,” said Nancy Gaddy, Chief Advancement Officer at New American Pathways. “Our partnership with Lazarus Naturals will help us fulfill this mission and provide relief to those affected by COVID-19 and ensure a welcoming community for all new Americans.”
