SMARTBOX
Opens Doors to Salvation Army
Portable storage, moving firm donates warehouse space to house Angel
Tree program
WEST PALM BEACH,
Fla. November 27, 2007 – SMARTBOX West Palm Beach, a leader in
the portable self storage and moving industry, is proud to announce
it has donated warehouse space to The Salvation Army of Palm Beach County,
which will use the space to store, stage and distribute gifts for its
Angel Tree program.
Each holiday season,
The Salvation Army attempts to locate a distribution center for its
Angel Tree program that provides for about 1,300 families in Palm Beach
County. With the Christmas season approaching, it was running short
on time in finding about 25,000 square feet of space, ideally in kind.
That’s when SMARTBOX’s Steve McCann picked up the phone
and offered 20,000 square feet at its warehouse at 3900 Fiscal Court
(Suite 700) in West Palm Beach.
“They were
a lifesaver,” said Captain Stacie McWilliams, an area commander
at The Salvation Army of Palm Beach County. “It’s a beautiful,
clean and bright warehouse that is perfect for our Angel Tree program.
We’re extremely grateful for the generosity of SMARTBOX.”
Added McCann, one
of the owners of SMARTBOX: “This is a no-brainer for us. We have
the space, and the opportunity to assist an organization that impacts
the community as much as The Salvation Army does was too good to pass
up. We’re honored to lend a hand this holiday season.”
