Community
The Walker’s/Capital Group believes in doing its part to make our communities stronger, safer, healthier and happier and is grateful to our customers who enable us to give back when possible, by supporting local non-profits and community organizations in the good works they do.
We want to share with our customers – past, present and future, what their choice of movers means for so many more in the community. On this page we will post the images and stories of just some of the ways we are privileged to be able to reach out and help make a difference.

March 2011 – Capital moves to help local foodbank – Move day approaching? You can help the local food bank just by the sorting you do pre-move!

Capital will collect any of the food items you identify and take them to the local food bank’s warehouse.
