Lucky you! You have been chosen by your church or social organization to be in charge of the annual fundraiser - a rummage sale or silent auction to raise money for those building repairs or summer camp programs for the children. It is an admirable task to take on, and you feel really good about helping out in such a positive way. After all, it will just involve collecting donated items and keeping them in one place until that rummage sale or auction - and it's only six months away. And so it begins - those church members have a lot of stuff to donate. Your basement is half full already - and it is only one month into the preparation period. You wanted to help, but you are starting to feel a little overwhelmed that the donated dinette sets and handmade afghans are starting to stack up and take over your space. You could let that overwhelming feeling grow until you become bitter about the encroachment into your personal space, or you could do something about it now. This may be the perfect time to look into renting a storage unit - a perfect place to hold all of those donations until the weekend of the fundraiser finally arrives! How Generous Are Your Donors? At US Storage Centers, we have a wide range of storage units of all sizes - one of which is sure to meet your needs. So for those of you handling this task for a church or organization with extremely generous donors, you can rest assured that we have a unit big enough to hold it all. We even offer free use of a move-in truck, so all you need to do is to round up some of those other willing church or organization members to help load all the donated items from your basement into the truck and then from the truck to the storage unit. It will give them a good feeling to help out too - and you will finally be able to get your space back. With the convenience of using a storage unit for these items instead of your basement, you can feel good about your contribution towards the rummage sale efforts without taking on the burden of using your entire basement (and possibly feeling a bit bitter about it by month three or four) as your fellow members clear out theirs. Help With Storage Needs In Houston If this scenario describes one you are facing at the moment, or if your church or community organization is planning something along the lines of this for its future fundraising efforts, it is worth your while to look into the option of renting a storage unit.
