1-800-PACK-RAT is proud to share some of the donations it has made this holiday season for some noble causes. Each year, 1-800-PACK-RAT donates containers to various organizations for on-site storage purposes. Our containers are the perfect portable storage solution, as the all-steel construction keeps the weather out and keeps the contents stored inside secure.
Our first donation goes to Buffalo Brothers restaurant locations in the Raleigh, NC area. Buffalo Brothers locations are official drop off locations for Toys for Tots. The Toys for Tots organization collects new, unwrapped toys that can be given to less fortunate children who might not receive a toy this holiday season. To assist with the collection efforts for the 8th consecutive year, 1-800-PACK-RAT delivered a container to each of the five Raleigh Buffalo Brothers locations. Toys that are collected can be safely stored in the container until they are delivered to the primary drop-off point for Toys for Tots.
Our second donation goes to The Ronald McDonald House’s Light A Luminary event. Going into its 28th year, Light A Luminary helps bring awareness for families that won’t be able to spend the holidays at home due to a child’s serious illness or injury. Luminary kits are sold, and then lit on specific nights to raise awareness. All of the proceeds from the event go to supporting the local RMH in that area, which provides a place for families to stay free of charge while their child receives life saving treatment at local hospitals. For the 5th year in a row, 1-800-PACK-RAT donated two containers to the RMH of Chapel Hill in North Carolina for their Light A Luminary event to store supplies and luminary kits.
Our third donation was to the Duplin County Department of Social Services on behalf of the Beulaville Presbyterian Church, located in Beulaville, NC. The church’s Christmas fund raiser was for Angel Tree donations. Angel Trees feature cards that have a child’s wish for a toy that can be bought and donated. The container is being used to store donations until they are delivered to the children looking forward to their holiday toys. We thank both the Beulaville Presbyterian Church and the Duplin County Department of Social Services for allowing us to assist with this toy collection effort!
1-800-PACK-RAT is delighted to help our local community during the holiday season, and thank everyone involved in donation efforts. We also want to wish everyone a happy holiday this season, and hope you and your families stay safe and healthy!
