The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with Mini Mall Storage
Helping others and giving back to our communities are important priorities year-round, but as the weather gets colder and the holidays grow near, we tend to start thinking about what we can do for others. Whether it be donations, parades, food drives, or volunteering, giving back is part of our identity, and with the season of giving upon us, let’s check out what your local self storage experts at Mini Mall Storage have been up to!
Holiday Events
Nothing brings the community together like a good Christmas parade and Mini Mall Storage is proud to have sponsored and participated in several this year across the US and Canada in Bristol, TN, Shelby, NC, and Hawkesbury, ON. Each of our teams got together and joined their local parades while handing out free toys and candy to children! Bringing joy didn’t stop there – one of our team members even came dressed as the Grinch for an extra festive touch, while others put inflatable Rudolphs on the hood of their MMSP service vans.
Our Shelby, NC team will also be participating in a tree decorating event at the end of December that supports the local community, while our Plano, TX and Calgary, AB offices spent time creating care packages for the local unhoused population that included important necessities like blankets, scarves, socks, hygiene items, hand warmers, and snacks.
Storage That Cares
Mini Mall Storage is committed to giving back to our communities, and we’re proud of the work we’ve done not just during the holiday season, but throughout the entire year.
On September 27th, Hurricane Helene hit the United States causing widespread damage in areas not usually significantly impacted by hurricane season, including mountainous areas of Tennessee and North Carolina. Asheville, NC was particularly hard hit, with full restoration of power and water not occurring until almost a full month later. Mini Mall Storage was proud to donate to the American Red Cross to help the affected communities. Read more on our Hurricane Helene Relief blog.
Our commitment to giving back doesn’t stop with financial donations. Each of our employees receives dedicated paid volunteer time, while each store also receives a charitable stipend yearly to use in their communities. We also have dedicated charities we work with throughout the year like Shelter Movers, who help us donate storage units to those fleeing abuse. More information about charities we’ve worked with can be found on our Transforming Communities: The Power Behind Donations and Volunteering blog.
While our current charity work is significant, we’re always looking to expand our community outreach efforts. Our staff are local, and we understand that part of good business is taking care of those around you. We’re already looking forward into 2025 and can’t wait to see what we can do to serve others even better in the new year!
