BAYTOWN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/10 -- Extra Space Storage of Baytown, Texas has been designated as an official toy collection center for the Baytown Blue Santa Program. The non-profit program is organized by police officers and detectives from the Baytown Police Department with support from the Baytown Municipal Police Association. Each year, the Baytown Blue Santa Program provides families in need with wrapped Christmas gifts so the children in these families can experience the magic and joy of the Christmas season.
The Blue Santa Program operates from donations and contributions from the community, businesses and civic groups each year. "We are honored to support such a worthwhile cause. We want to support local charities that help the community," stated Keith Haberstroh, District Manager for Extra Space Storage.
The number of families that can be helped all depends on the number of donations and contributions the program receives. When a family is nominated, a trained interviewer visits the family to assess their level of need. Once families are selected, volunteers wrap the gifts and deliver them to the families.
Unwrapped toys can be dropped off at Extra Space Storage located at 5236 East Freeway, Baytown, TX 77521. Extra Space Storage has units for both residential and commercial storage needs. The property boasts a professional staff, state-of-the-art security, and 24-hour video surveillance. The building's units, which are available in varying sizes from 25 to 300 square feet, are available for short-term or long-term lease, and are accessible seven days a week, 365 days a year.
