Dinanyili Paulino, Chief Operations Officer of La Colaborativa said: “La Colaborativa is excited to welcome Green Thumb to the Chelsea community and we are very appreciative of their donation. This donation will help us continue our mission of making a positive impact on Greater Boston’s Latinx community through citizenship support, educational programs and food distribution services.”
