SAM (Store and Move) and Kansas National Guard
Join Hands to Help Iraqi Families in Need

Donations from Leavenworth community members welcomed
 
 
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Feb. 5, 2007 – SAM (Store and Move) is a portable storage container and moving service that recently debuted in Kansas. SAM donated its services to Operation Ruby Slippers, a humanitarian assistance drive for children and others in Iraq sponsored by the Kansas Redlegs and the Kansas Army National Guard.

On Feb. 1, a SAM container and a Mayflower Transit truck were stationed at the National Guard in Topeka, Kan. Community members generously donated clothing, shoes and toiletry items such as lip balm, aspirin, vitamins and cold medicine. From now until Feb. 14, donations can be brought to Studdard Moving & Storage, 201 Commercial Street, Leavenworth, Kan. For assistance with delivery, donors can contact Charles Campbell at 800-899-8498. Please list what is included in each donation, as required for the items to pass customs and be received in Iraq.

“It’s extremely important to remember that families in Iraq are in need. Iraqi children especially need clothing and shoes,” said Charles Campbell, president of the SAM dealership. “We are in a unique position to help these families and offer them a glimmer of hope. I know the people of Leavenworth will be generous.”

Locally operated through Studdard Relocation, this SAM dealer has a unique relationship with the Kansas National Guard. Campbell’s son and business partner, John Campbell, is currently serving in Iraq as an operations officer for the Kansas National Guard unit stationed in the green zone in Baghdad.

For more information about SAM services in the Kansas please call 800-get-asam or visit www.getasam.com.

 

About SAM - Store and Move

The SAM (Store and Move) service is provided through the SAM Support Center located in St. Louis and is delivered by a nationwide network of dealers. SAM opened in its first market in January 2006, and continues to aggressively enter new service areas throughout the United States. SAM is a convenient and portable storage and moving solution that is delivered to the customer’s residence and placed at ground level for easy packing and unpacking. For customers who are using the SAM as a short- or long-term storage unit, it can be stored onsite at their residence or at the dealer’s secure facility. For customers planning to move, SAM allows the customer as much time as they need to pack; then a SAM representative picks up and moves the container to the new location, again allowing customers the freedom to unpack at their leisure.
