As part of its mission of serving others, Dollar General and its employees are committed to taking part in conservation and sustainability efforts to help rebuild the communities it calls home, including Cape Coral.

Recently, approximately 20 Dollar General employees helped plant 80 trees along Veteran’s Memorial Parkway as part of the reforestation efforts following the damage from Hurricane Ian in September 2022. This is just a small part of the efforts to restore Cape Coral’s natural trees that are home to native birds and plants and animals.

In addition to its tree planting efforts in Cape Coral, Dollar General and its Foundations donated more than $28 million to local and national efforts in 2023 that focus on nourishing the mind, body and planet. Further, Dollar General has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation since 2021 to support the organization in combating deforestation and has restored more than 321 acres of forest to date.
