    We have a food bank box in our front office...not really a "jar" but the same principle.  Once each quarter we do a rent credit raffle from anyone that gave X amount of jars.

    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.

    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.

    Offering integrated donations during the rental process can go a long way in customer loyalty and converting more rentals. Want to hear more about this? Then don't miss our upcoming Industry Webinar with Kure It Cancer Research and learn how a culture of giving is good for business!
