MariMed's value-focused line of flower, vapes and gummies, InHouse, leads the initiative, aiming to offset the financial burden of monthly housing expenses or essential home improvements. Through Help on the Homefront, InHouse will provide $5,000 to a veteran in several of its retail markets, including Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware and Illinois.

Beginning November 1, eligible veterans aged 21+ may enter to win online. Friends and family are also welcome to submit an entry on behalf of a veteran. No purchase is necessary to participate and winners will be randomly selected and announced after the program ends on Nov. 30.
