Community
We've always been about giving back to our community.
Over the years we have enjoyed creating community-based projects. It’s another way for us to connect with like-minded folks who are doing good and give back to our local community which has been so good to us. We often provide our services pro bono for nonprofit charities and grass-root community organizations.
Carp Arts
Our friends at the Carpinteria Arts have founded a wonderful nonprofit grassroots volunteer organization whose mission is to create a vibrant community through the arts. We’re very happy to have had the opportunity to donate our time to help them successfully create their home, an Arts Center building in downtown Carpinteria… and to further our ongoing support of local arts and art education.
United Boys & Girls Club
We have donated our time to help this important organization completely renovate the commercial kitchens in their West side and downtown Santa Barbara facilities. Not only do these kitchens feed healthy, balanced meals to all their members free of charge, but they’re places to teach healthy habits and important life skills, and to develop positive relationships.
Santa Barbara Zoo
The Santa Barbara Zoo is a beloved local community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and enhancement of the natural world and its living treasures through education, research, and recreation. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with zoo staff to create their Discovery Pavilion education center. The Discovery Pavilion serves as the hub of the Zoo’s many education and community outreach programs.

The mission of Girls Inc. is to inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold, and to empower them to achieve personal, social, political, and economic success. We've been proud to support this pro-girl environment over the years in addressing their campus needs.
