Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 -- The Arizona Self-Storage Association (AZSA) has announced the launch of its statewide Toys for Tots campaign. AZSA is encouraging all member facilities to participate in the campaign by serving as drop-off locations for the Toys for Tots Program.

"Participating in the Toys for Tots drive is the ideal way for AZSA members to give back to their local communities," says Don Favreau, President of the Arizona Self-Storage Association. “In view of the current economic difficulties impacting the state of Arizona, participating in the toy drive gives member facilities the opportunity to make a difference and bring happiness to many disadvantaged children this Christmas."

Self-storage facilities interested in taking part in the drive may contact AZSA Public Relations Chair Jennifer Curtis at (623) 341-0069 or jcurtis(at)williamwarren(dot)com. The e-mail should include the facility name, address, phone number, and contact person to receive information about the local campaign coordinator as well as the logos and posters to display at the facility. While facilities will need to supply their own toy boxes, local campaign coordinators will arrange for the pickup of all collected items on December 17th and 18th.
