OXNARD, Calif. - Feb. 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Since opening his doors for business in 2005, local PODS Moving and Storage owner, Steve Yapp has always made it a priority for his company to give back to organizations within the local community.

In collaboration with the Camarillo, Oxnard and Ventura Chambers of Commerce, PODS will celebrate its 10 year anniversary by hosting a “Spotlight on Charity” Chamber Mega-Mixer on Thursday, March 24 from 5:30- 8 p.m.
