CHARITY

Helping Our Aussie Farmers

Christmas Charity

Customer Feedback “The staff at Kennards Artarmon were wonderful. Service was efficient, helpful, very friendly and informa- tive. We hired a trailer which came with blankets, packing tape and even a means to fix a tyre puncture. Even though our storage unit is above ground level, the lift easily enabled us to move our gear. We would definitely use Kennards again if we need to store household goods.” “December last year I had to store a Caravan and lot of house items on leaving one property while moving to another. Bronwyn & Frank at Guildford showed me all the alternative storage solutions. I was offered one near the lift, perfect access to store all of my valuables. They offered storage boxes & packing materials to assist me. The site has very good access and egress for both large vehicles and valuable goods, 24 hour security & large lift to the second floor and fork lifts available, make it very easy to come and go. On sorting out my posses- sions Bronwyn & Frank offered 3m waste bins of unwanted items & paper & card board. Outstanding service” “Absolutely brilliant service at Kennards Storage Kirrawee. The facility is immaculate and runs like clockwork, hiring a storage space was very easy and quick. Mike who helped us out was very friendly, knowledge- able and went above and beyond to help us on the day! I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you.” “I have been storing with various companies over the years and this is by far the best. Trudy at Flemington is just magnificent as she goes out of her way to ensure a potential customer is informed about everything, from 24/7 access, to the complimentary Tea and Coffee making facilities. I especially love the concierge service for incoming and outgoing parcels and mail. I have always been treated fairly, equally, respectfully and above all like a friend by the Managers.”

A s the year rolls on and For Profit Organisations that support homelessness and those in need. One charity we have supported for a number of years with the supply of around 500 boxes on each occasion, is the Sydney Basket Brigade. Run totally by volunteers, donated goods such as food, clothing and toys are collected and boxed up as hampers and anonymously delivered to those that have fallen on hard times, that might need to be reminded that someone does care. Deliberately seeking out those who might otherwise fall through the cracks and not seek charity – children, the elderly, the hungry, refugees, women and the homeless. Sydney Basket Brigade will weave their magic again this year and KSS will gladly help with the donation of another 500 KSS boxes. Another organisation we support every year is the Lions Club of Hornsby in Sydney. Each year we supply donated space for three months to store Lions Club Christmas Fruit Cakes. The money raised from the sale of the Cakes this year will go to Kuringai Womens shelter, they usually raise about $2,500. Teneriffe Lions Club in Queensland also sell Lions Club Christmas Fruit Cakes as one of their major fundraisers. KSS Newstead are supplying donated space to the Teneriffe Lions Club until January 2019, to store their Cakes until sold. This year we were also approached by North Ryde Community Aid Centre to supply donated space to store 350 hampers that will be delivered to those in need in the community at Christmas time. We are helping out with donated space at KSS Rydalmere. Sharon Munro Executive Assistant to the MD Christmas approaches we are often asked for donations of boxes or space to help Not

“Hi Sharon,

We have had a wonderful trip meeting some of the local farmers, and helping on their farms today. The community have put on a gathering for the farmers for them to come and take hampers and give them a dinner. Thought I would send a couple of photos. I know they are very apprecia- tive of getting some much needed food and supplies. So once again I would like to say a massive thank you to Kennards Self Storage for donating the boxes for these farmers. We really appreciate your generosity.

Kind regards, Kath and the Exec of the Penrith Giants”
