CLEARWATER, Fla. — ‘Tis the season to give back. This holiday season, GŪD Essence, a Black- woman-owned cannabis and wellness brand, is hosting a holiday toy drive to support local children in need in the Clearwater area. The community-wide initiative runs through Dec. 23.
As part of GŪD Essence’s ongoing commitment to community care, the dispensary invites patients, employees, and neighbors to donate new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0–17. Holiday donations may be dropped during store hours, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. In addition, GŪD Essence has introduced a company-matching program, doubling the number of toys donated.
All items collected will be gifted to Suncoast Voices for Children, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing for the unmet needs of children in foster care in Pinellas and Pasco counties. Toys will be delivered by Dec. 23 to ensure they reach children in time for the holidays.
