You are a winner at the storage auction. You have done a quick sort through of items that now belong to you and have determined what to keep, what to sell, and what to give away. As a helpful hint, when you pack your vehicle to leave the storage site, organize the car or truck in some fashion that not only affords space, but allows you to get to items you may want to drop off at a charitable thrift store or Goodwill. Or you can donate through Charity Storage before you even leave the storage facility. Charity Storage is a newly formed self storage industry charity that raises money for charitable purposes by auctioning off a Charity Storage Unit. The community, storage tenants, and auction buyers can all donate items to the Charity Unit and receive a tax deductible receipt. So next time you don't want to drag everything home with you, ask your facility if they participate in Charity Storage. And if the answer is "no" ask them why not??!!
