Transactions and Deals: January 3, 2021

Extra Space Employees Aid Food Bank

 

Extra Space Storage employees at the Salt Lake City, Utah, headquarters joined together to participate in a Virtual Food Drive for Utah Food Bank and raised over $22,000 in one week. In past years, the company has held a traditional food drive — collecting canned goods for the food bank — but with much of the workforce working from home this year, they pivoted the drive to be virtual. Extra Space Storage committed to matching employee donations up to $10,000.

“We had no idea how participation would be in the new format,” said McKall Morris, Extra Space’s communications manager. “Originally, we set our donation goal at $5,000, but within a day we had surpassed that. It is incredible to see how generous the team is.”
