Local NYC; How to Help the Homeless?
"Just come by, drop off a toy, and we'll do the rest," said Stacy Stuart, VP of Marketing for Manhattan Mini. "As a family-owned and operated, homegrown business, we're always looking for ways to benefit the local community in New York besides being great storage advisors. Partnership for the Homeless is an amazing organization - we've been working with them since their inception in 1983, and we plan to do so for a long time to come."

Homeless in New York for the Holidays
