Giving Back With Charity Storage

What do you do with your extra gear after a move? Having leftover items you no longer use or have outgrown is very common from season to season or after a move. Bowman Plains Self Storage can now assist with your storage needs as well as your donations. We are currently accepting slightly used household and business gear for our Frederick MD storage auctions with Charity Storage.

What is Charity Storage?

This organization pairs up with storage operators like Bowman Plains Self Storage as a collection point for donated goods. You can drop off your boxes of gently used gear after a yard sale or move. We have a storage unit dedicated to keeping these donations secure until the unit is full.

Once we are at capacity in the storage unit we will post the items online for sale through Storage Treasures, a partner of Charity Storage.

After the sale is closed all the proceeds are allocated to charities throughout the US. A large majority of the sale, 60%, will be given to our main charity, the American Heart Association. The rest of the proceeds will support cancer research through Kure It Cancer Research, and education for a student in need through the SSA Scholarship Fund.
