We have a baby bottle donation bottle in the office for a pregnancy help center. We also have a number of units that we donate to a few charities like Toy's for Tot's, a local food bank (for pallet storage, no food), local kid's baseball league. We also have a Salvation Army donation bin on the property.

teamcapitola Registered User, Daily Operations Certified, Advanced Operations Certified, Administrator Certified, myHub Certified ✭✭✭✭✭We allow 2% of our total rentable sq. footage to be donated to charity; toys-for-tots, local youth groups, Capitola Jr. Guards etc. The store manager is responsible for the budget each year, and can offer either discounted rent or zero dollar rentals provided the total stays within the allotted 3%. We also limit charity discounts to organizations within 10 miles of the facility to support our local community.2
