HSU faculty and staff can now use a free Humboldt Made community membership, which provides access to special offers from select local businesses. The new benefit, which lasts through November of 2016, is courtesy of the Humboldt State Association, better known as Forever Humboldt.

Offerings include 15 percent off at Plaza, 10 percent off JB Maryn Gift Crates, 15% off Drakes Glen Creations & Artisan Chocolate, 15 percent off Fire and Light showroom, 5 percent off Humboldt Made products at Wildberries every Friday, free shipping from Stargazerbarns.com, and many more. Additional offerings and discounts will be added in coming months.

Faculty and staff can access the discounts by presenting a current campus ID. Alternately, they can use their free Forever Humboldt card, which they can register for here.

The new benefit is also available to all HSU students and their parents & families, as well as HSU alumni. Students may use their current campus ID or their Forever Humboldt card. Alumni and parents & families must use their Forever Humboldt card.

Humboldt Made exists to help grow the local economy by helping businesses expand “beyond the Redwood Curtain,” and its community memberships are usually available for a recommended $25 donation. In exchange for the free benefit for the HSU community, Forever Humboldt is providing support and promotion for Humboldt Made.
