OCEANSIDE, California—Honest Medical, an e-commerce site offering health care products, has partnered with Happen Ventures to donate thousands of returned, reusable health products to nonprofits serving those in need. Happen Ventures provides reuse services that support environmental sustainability and aims to foster economic and social benefits. The most recent donation was to Hope Esperanza, a nonprofit organization located in North Platte, Nebraska. Hope Esperanza is dedicated to empowering underserved youth and families to enhance health, overcome hardship and promote an overall sense of belonging and well-being.
CEO Mike Greenan said every company receives reusable returned products each year. While companies typically discard many of these items, Honest Medical, in accordance with its core mission to empower better health care across all communities, donates a large portion of its reusable products to nonprofits. These returns total from 100,000 to 200,000 products each year. By partnering with Happen Ventures, Honest Medical makes sure these health supplies reach deserving recipients.
"We understand the importance of giving back to the communities we serve," Greenan said. "Healthy lives are built on strong foundations. This is why we're proud to partner with Happen Ventures and donate to nonprofits such as Hope Esperanza, a fantastic organization that empowers minority and underserved youth and families. Their dedication to providing critical support and educational opportunities aligns perfectly with our values at Honest Medical. We believe everyone deserves a chance to reach their full potential, and we're confident that donations like ours can make a real difference in the lives of the individuals and families that Hope Esperanza and other nonprofit organizations serve."
