Unyaka wezimali ka-2021 bekuwunyaka wokuqala ogcwele wokubhekana ne-COVID. Kwakunamatshe kancane ekuqaleni njengoba singena ekwindla yokutshala. Ngo-Okthoba i-ReLeaf yabamba i-webinar yokutshalwa kwezihlahla nokunakekelwa ngesikhathi se-COVID ukuze yabelane ngezinsiza nezincomo ngokusekelwa kwamalungu e-Network Tree Fresno kanye ne-Canopy kanye neHhovisi Lase-LA Lokuphathwa Kwamahlathi. Ukwabelana ngemibono nokusekelana (kanye namahlathi asemadolobheni) yingakho iCalifornia ReLeaf yasungulwa emuva ngo-1989.
Njengoba sesibonile sonke, umugqa wesiliva ongalindelekile we-COVID ube ukujwayela ngokushesha ezinkundleni zokuxhumana - okusiza ikakhulukazi inethiwekhi yezwe lonke yezinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo zomphakathi.
