WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 29, 2008 – The holiday season is right around the corner, and local
SAM – Store and Move dealer, Security Storage Company, is partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to kick off its Toys for Tots holiday campaign in the Washington, D.C., area. To help the Marines spread more holiday cheer this season, Security Storage Company donated seven SAM containers to store 1,000 bicycles donated to the Washington, D.C., Toys for Tots program this year. The donation of the SAM containers helps launch the Marine’s toy drive by adding storage capacity for gifts. The gifts will be hand-delivered by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in December to more than 80,000 children of all ages in Washington, D.C.
As part of the “SAM Lends a Hand” initiative, SAM, an emerging leader in portable moving and storage solutions, is donating its services and containers to the Toys for Tots program throughout the United States. Beginning now through January 2008, the public is encouraged to drop off new, unwrapped gifts to the Toys for Tots holiday campaign at local participating businesses throughout the United States and at local fire departments in the Washington, D.C., area.
“We are proud to support our community by offering our self-storage services to such a worthy organization,” said Charles Lawrence, president, Security Storage Company of Washington, D.C. “As you begin your holiday shopping, please keep the Toys for Tots program in mind. It’s heartwarming to see the tremendous impact your contribution makes to the life of a child.”
“Thanks to the amazing support of the community, we never have enough storage to accommodate the massive amount of donations that we receive,” said Master Sgt. Timothy Butler, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve of Washington, D.C. “That’s why we are grateful to Security Storage for donating the SAM containers to the Toys for Tots program. They work perfectly to store the donations, and it makes the donation drop-off process so much easier.”
