    In South Africa, the economic divide is stark, which is why it’s important for companies and corporations to do their bit to help out whenever they can.

    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) not only benefits the company, but it’s also a great opportunity to engage with the community and give back.

    A corporation doing its job right will understand the importance and power of committing to the well-being of society. As a result, an increasing number of companies are using their resources to make a difference.

    [Side note – if you’re dreading your office ‘Secret Santa’ this year, we have a solid suggestion for that, too.]

    When choosing the best way to engage with the community, it’s important to work alongside campaigns and projects that coincide with your company values, to help play a role in supporting the social well-being of our country.

    Take Stor-Age, for example, who are involved in the annual Santa Shoebox Project.

    Stor-Age has 50 conveniently located facilities nationwide, providing affordable self-storage solutions for businesses, students and individuals. In addition, many of their tenants are charities and SMEs hoping to grow and contribute effective CSR to our society.

    The Santa Shoebox Project is an annual charity drive that encourages the public to donate a gift-filled shoebox to be distributed to underprivileged children across the country. This year is the 7th year of Stor-Age’s involvement.
    Once again, they opened up their conveniently located facilities across the country as drop-off points for completed boxes. This year, over 28 000 boxes have been delivered to their facilities nationwide to be distributed to underprivileged children.
    Stor-Age also offered complimentary shoeboxes for all those wishing to donate to the project, handing out over 12 000 free boxes.
     
    In the past 12 years, the Santa Shoebox Project has brought festive joy to the lives of more than 762 000 children, while they continue to march to their goal of one million by the end of next year.

    If you’re interested in getting involved, you can check out their website, and make sure that you do business with companies that take their CSR seriously and look to make meaningful change happen.

    Oh, and you have some stuff that needs storing, we’ll even sweeten the deal by getting you 50% off your first month with Stor-Age.

    It’s a simple way to do right by your community.
