Nature’s Care Company

In March of 2020, Nature’s Care signed the first-of-its-kind Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) with the Cannabis Equity IL Coalition (CEIC) and the ColaGroup. The purpose of Nature’s Care agreements with Cannabis Equity Illinois IL and ColaGroup is to advocate and support disproportionately impacted individuals, to reinvest in our communities and to enact positive change. Not only do we believe in the beneficial properties of the plant, but we also believe the industry can provide the community and state with much economic gain.
