UNITS Moving and Portable Storage Gives Unprecedented Support to Toys for Tots During Holidays

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage's Support for Toys for Tots

The holiday season is often a time for generosity, and this year, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage has genuinely exemplified this spirit through their robust support of the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. In a heartwarming collective effort, franchise owners from UNITS across the nation have donated over 100 portable storage containers to facilitate local charities, providing essential logistical support for toy collection, sorting, and distribution efforts aimed at bringing joy to countless children and families in need.

Each Toys for Tots chapter operates under the guidance of a U.S. Marine, who may be assigned to new communities each year. This presents a challenge as these Marines strive to coordinate large-scale holiday operations in unfamiliar territories. The logistical demands surrounding the storage, security, and transportation of thousands of donated toys can be daunting. This is where UNITS franchise owners become invaluable; not only do they offer secure, weather-resistant storage solutions, but they also contribute their time, fuel, and hands-on assistance to ensure success in these vital toy collection initiatives.

Michael McAlhany, CEO of UNITS Moving and Portable Storage, expressed immense pride in the commitment displayed by franchise owners throughout this campaign. McAlhany stated, "The level of commitment shown by our franchise owners this year has been truly inspiring. I am extremely proud of the way our network continues to rally around Toys for Tots. Our owners aren't just donating containers—they're driving hours, coordinating logistics, and giving their time to support the Marines and the children they serve."

Among the many noteworthy contributions, UNITS of Northern Virginia stands out for donating 44 portable storage containers, alongside transportation support, to aid local Toys for Tots efforts. Franchise locations from various cities, including Madison, WI; Minneapolis, MN; New Orleans, LA; Sarasota, FL; and Memphis, TN, also made significant contributions. Their secure storage solutions proved essential in ensuring that toys were collected, protected, and distributed efficiently throughout their respective areas.

"As a United States Marine-led organization, Toys for Tots depends heavily on reliable partners at the local level," added McAlhany. "Seeing our franchise owners step up in so many markets across the country reinforces why UNITS is such a strong community-driven brand. I couldn't be more proud of their dedication."

In addition to leading the national franchise network, McAlhany himself owns UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Charleston, SC, where his local team contributed 12 portable storage containers to support Toys for Tots initiatives in the Lowcountry.

The UNITS franchise network has been a steadfast supporter of Toys for Tots for nearly ten years, nurturing long-standing relationships with local Marine Corps Reserve units and community leaders nationwide. "Our partnership with Toys for Tots is about more than logistics—it's about making a real difference in the lives of children," McAlhany noted. "We are honored to support this mission year after year, and we look forward to continuing to be a trusted local partner for Toys for Tots communities across the country for many years to come."

The concerted effort from the UNITS Moving and Portable Storage franchise network during the holiday season illustrates not just their commitment to giving back but also the profound impact that local businesses can have when they come together for a common cause.
