OXNARD — Local PODS® Moving & Storage has continued to give back to more than 100 organizations and charities throughout the Tri-Counties since opening its doors for business in 2005. In honor of their upcoming 15-year anniversary, they are doing something special.

“This year will certainly outshine all the rest,” says Steve Yapp, owner of Local PODS Moving & Storage. “We are honored to be a part of this amazing community and look forward to have this extra push, over and above our logistics containers donations, by giving back to all of our communities. We so appreciate that over the past 15 years, communities have embraced PODS.”
