All About Storage, a self-storage operator in Concord, N.C., is collecting donations of school supplies for R. Brown McAllister Elementary School to help students prepare for the new school year. This is the third consecutive year the storage operator has held the supply drive. It will deliver donations to the local school on Sept. 1.

Property managers Michelle Dean and Leigh Williams have invited members of the community to drop off school-supply donations to the self-storage facility at 593 Wilshire Ave. The school drive is one of several charity events in which the facility participates during the year, including annual donation drives for coats, food, Toys For Tots and money for a local animal shelter.

All About Storage is operated by property-management company Absolute Storage Management (ASM). Founded in 2002, ASM owns and manages self-storage facilities throughout the Southeast, operating more than 80 properties in 13 states. Headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., it has regional offices in Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; and Jackson, Miss.
