1-800-PACK-RAT Provides Storage Containers for Tornado Relief Efforts

WAKE FOREST, N.C. - April 24, 2020 - PRLog -- 1-800-PACK-RAT, LLC, a leader in the portable storage and moving industry, recently donated a container and provided three additional containers at a discount to the community of Cookeville, TN. The town was one of the many cities and townships that were hit hardest by the tornado outbreak that occurred in the region this past March. Damage in the area was extensive, requiring significant cleanup and disaster response.

Shortly after the tornado outbreak, 1-800-PACK-RAT was contacted by a Murfreesboro, TN resident, Kathy Stockman, who heard of the needs of the Willow Avenue Church of Christ and wanted to help. The church was designated as a donation drop-off point for relief supplies for area residents. Mrs. Stockman was worried about an overflow of donations taking up space in and around the church, which would take away valuable space needed for worship and counseling. In addition to the church receiving three portable storage containers, a fourth was provided for two church families who live side-by-side whose homes were heavily damaged during the storm.

"I am extremely grateful for the assistance that 1-800-PACK-RAT has provided for the Cookeville community," said Stockman. "We had reached out to two other storage companies for assistance and 1-800-PACK-RAT was the only one to give us any help. They have been wonderful, and their containers have been exactly what we needed for us to help those most in need after this terrible storm. Thank you, 1-800-PACK-RAT, for your generous support!"
