As the holidays near, self-storage operators around the world continue to help several charitable organizations. Here’s a summary of how they’re giving back to their communities.
Edison Properties, the parent company of Manhattan Mini Storage, is reaching out to several organizations this season. In lieu of decorating one of its office buildings, the company made a $20,000 donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. Manhattan Mini Storage also donated boxes to The Partnership for the Homeless’ annual toy drive and FeedingNYC. Manhattan Mini Storage operates 17 facilities throughout New York City.
Access Self Storage of the United Kingdom collected holiday decorations through Dec. 7 to benefit Trinity Hospice in Clapham, London. The operator set up donation boxes at its facility on Merton Road in Southfields, London, to collect new or like-new Christmas decorations such as trees, lights, baubles, bells and stockings. The drive is part of the company’s annual Christmas Charity Appeal. Access Self Storage operates more than 50 facilities in the U.K., with a large concentration in Greater London.
Westy Self Storage is supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The company’s facilities in Stamford, Conn., and Chatham and Norwood, N.J., are serving as collection sites as well as storing donations until they’re delivered. Donations can be made at the storage properties at 80 Brownhouse Road in Stamford, 15 River Road in Chatham and 95 Hudson Ave. in Norwood until Dec. 17. The company's portfolio of facilities spans Connecticut, New Jersey and New York.
Access Self Storage in New Jersey partnered with radio station NJ101.5 to collect money and gifts for its Family Adoption 2014 charity drive. The donations benefit families living in transitional and domestic-violence shelters. New, unwrapped gifts were accepted at the storage company’s 15 facilities.
