Use the Power of Self Storage for Charity Initiatives

Charity initiatives are needed for the greater community but must run smoothly to be completed correctly. There are many moving parts behind the scenes; you must get the logistics right to make an impact. For instance, when you do a clothes drive, how will you store all your garments? Sure, you can do it out of your house, but do you have enough space for that? We have a solution: storage units. Aren’t storage units just used for storing furniture and other valuables? Not necessarily. Read on to find out the top three ways to use self storage to help you with your charity initiatives.

Donation Drives Out of A Unit

Making donation drives out of a rented space is an excellent idea. Most storage facilities are willing to partner with non-profit organizations for charity drives to help them give back to the community. If you are a volunteer or employee of a non-profit, why not ask your employer to spend a day doing a donation drive out of the rented space? This makes sense because you will have more space than you could ever have at home or work.

Storing Donations

Office supplies and donated toys can be stored at a facility, making it easy to pull out when needed. As we said earlier, space is limited. Luckily, you can also choose from a wide variety of sizes, and since leases are month-to-month, you are not stuck in a contract. You likely will only need to book a small size since you can expect the donation drives you do to empty your mini-storage unit. It is a good idea to ensure that you have all the space you need for donations; renting storage will provide that.

Renting Trucks

What if you want to do something other than do a donation or charity event at your local facility? Many places have rental trucks that you can rent. Sure, you can haul goods in your car from place to place, but ultimately, you will have fewer trips, and it will be far easier with a moving truck. Take advantage of those options, and you will find that you will go far. Otherwise, depending on the size of your car, you might need to take extra trips, which could damper your momentum. Mini U Storage offers free rental trucks when you rent with us for the first time. Check out our truck rental page for full details.
