LOUISIANA FOOD COLLECTION DRIVES

As part of its company-wide charity initiatives in the 2011 holiday season, every Storage Post storage facility in New Orleans participated in a food collection drive.

Storage Post partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans & Acadiana and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.

NEW ORLEANS

Second Harvest Food Bank, founded 1982, leads the fight against hunger in south Louisiana through food distribution, advocacy, education and disaster response. Second Harvest serves approximately 263,000 people each year, including 80,000 children and 40,000 seniors, across 23 south Louisiana parishes.  In any given week, nearly 42,000 people access emergency food services through Second Harvest Food Bank's 240 member agencies.

Storage Post partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank to ensure families and individuals in New Orleans received the nutrition they needed over the holidays.

Storage Post's four New Orleans locations were official donation drop-off locations
for non-perishable food items. By the end of the food drive, the New Orleans stores
had collected over 100 pounds of food for those who needed it most.

BATON ROUGE

Each week, the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, distributes food to over 7,300 people. Its goal is to feed the hungry of Baton Rouge, and surrounding parishes, through education, food distribution and partnering with other local groups.

Storage Post's Baton Rouge location on Tom Drive joined with Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank in the 2011 holiday season to collect food for local families and individuals in need. 

In total, the Tom Drive Storage Post location was able to collect enough food to feed a family of four for an entire week.
