The OCCC Offers Unique Reusable Donation Solutions
Nation’s second largest convention facility offers unique donation solutions to Central Florida Charity Organizations

The Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) has several exceptional services it offers to its vendors and clientele.  However, the most unique of all the unmatched services the facility provides is the opportunity for its clients, vendors, and exhibitors to give back to the surrounding communities of Central Florida through reusable donations. These reusable donations allow charitable organizations within the Central Florida community to benefit from materials, excess goods, services, and merchandise, including food and convention products that may have other wise been disposed of.  This one-of-a kind program allows the charities to benefit from an array of goods, while also providing clientele the chance to give back and give from the heart.

In 2010, an estimated $1.7 million plus in funds, goods, and services were donated to local organizations by the visiting conventions and tradeshows along with their exhibitors and attendees. Additionally, nearly 250,000 pounds of food and beverage items and approximately $175,000 in school supplies were among the donated goods that were put back into circulation throughout the Central Florida community as reusable donations. Last year several of the tradeshows and conventions held at the OCCC made the choice to give back and reuse goods within the community. Among them were the Global Pet Expo, Ace Hardware, Coverings, and Fresh Summit.
