What's Happening?
Bluebird Self Storage has initiated a charitable campaign titled 'Give Hunger the Bird' to collect nonperishable food and personal items at all its New Hampshire locations. The drive, running until December
31, aims to support local charities Gather in Portsmouth and Families in Transition in Manchester. Bill Goodison, managing director of Bluebird Self Storage, emphasized the increasing importance of such initiatives, noting that the need for food donations is more critical this year. Last year, the company collected 1,600 pounds of food, and this year they aim to gather 2,000 pounds. The campaign reflects Bluebird's commitment to community support during the holiday season.
Why It's Important?
The 'Give Hunger the Bird' campaign is significant as it addresses food insecurity, a persistent issue affecting many communities. By partnering with local charities, Bluebird Self Storage is helping to alleviate the burden on families struggling to meet basic needs. The initiative not only provides immediate relief but also raises awareness about the ongoing challenges of hunger and poverty. Successful campaigns like this can inspire other businesses to engage in similar efforts, potentially leading to broader community support and collaboration. The increased target of 2,000 pounds of food highlights the growing demand and the company's dedication to making a substantial impact.
What's Next?
As the campaign progresses, Bluebird Self Storage will continue to collect donations and engage with the community to maximize contributions. The success of this initiative could lead to future campaigns or expanded efforts in other regions. Local charities, Gather and Families in Transition, will distribute the collected items to those in need, potentially increasing their outreach and support capabilities. The outcome of this campaign may also influence other businesses to adopt similar charitable activities, fostering a culture of giving and community involvement.
