“Our organization was able to further our community outreach through the Adopt-A-Spot program. Coordinating equipment pick-up and drop-offs is always a breeze. Our Corner provides all the tools and equipment you could possibly need. If your organization or business would like to get involved with an Our Corner program, I highly recommend Adopt-A-Spot.”
