Angel Tree Program Is A Success!

Door To Door Storage, based in Seattle, Wash., has announced its participation in the 2008 Angel Tree Program with the Salvation Army of Austin, Texas. The program is part of the Salvation Army’s mission to alleviate suffering and provide hope to families with children in the community.

Door To Door Storage of Austin has donated five on-site portable self-storage containers including all rental and transportation fees to the Salvation Army for use in its 2008 Angel Tree Program. The Salvation Army identifies families in need and each Angel Tree family is interviewed by a Salvation Army representative or by a participating local agency representative. Children, ages 12 and younger, from qualifying families become Angels. Participants then select an “Angel” from the Tree and purchase a gift that can be taken to the Salvation Army Christmas Store and deposited in the storage containers donated by Door To Door. The storage units will remain on site at the store until after the holidays.

“Door To Door Storage not only understood our desire to provide Christmas assistance to many who are less fortunate, they also understood the need for prompt service, special attention to detail, and adequate storage space,” said Maj. John Carter, Austin Metropolitan Area Command, The Salvation Army. “Throughout this entire effort, their ability to comprehend the scope of services was very much appreciated and valuable to our seasonal operation. We of the Salvation Army want to thank them in a big way.”
