US Storage Centers has joined the Self Storage Association’s “SSA Cares: Storage Aid for our Communities” program in supporting readiness for healthcare and emergency responders. During this pandemic, SSA Cares will work to connect self storage facilities who are willing to donate free storage units to aid organizations on the frontlines fighting COVID-19.
US Storage Centers is helping its local communities organizations where needed. It is helping a local non-profit by donating a storage unit in its Costa Mesa, California location to hold basic household resources and non-perishable food items. These goods are being donated to local families who are in need of assistance and relief from the impact of COVID-19.
“We all keep hearing that “We’re in this together” and we truly believe this,” said Charles Byerly, CEO of US Storage Centers. “When the National Self Storage Association put together a plan to provide aid for our communities, we were immediately on board. Every little bit helps and if we can be a part of that equation, we are happy to do so and appreciate the opportunity to help.”
With the need of supplies and equipment high in demand for frontline emergency and healthcare organizations, quick access to storage is critical over the next few months.
