CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services received a year of donated storage space from Mabey’s Moving and Storage. “We are delighted to have a local business in our community partnering with us,” said Robin Matthias, Development and Marketing Coordinator of CAPTAIN. “This is the second year the Mabey family has extended their generosity to us.”
With this gift we will be able to store items for upcoming events that support families and youth in Saratoga County. We also will have the ability to store seasonal items that are only used on a yearly basis.
We cannot thank Mabey’s enough--as a social service agency, we certainly count on the support from local businesses to achieve our goals--often this takes place in the form of in-kind gifts, donations or discounted prices.
