School in Jamaica

Powdersville Self Storage is teaming up with locals outside of Montego Bay, Jamaica, in a rural town called Pumpkin Bottom, to help school children. While traveling in this area, and talking with some of the town folk, we discovered that there was a desperate need to help provide school supplies for some local children, as well as providing an individual to teach them.

In this rural and remote area, children attend school outside, on the ground – literally on the ground. There is no building to provide a school for the children. The ages of the children range from first grade through fifth. Most of them have never had the opportunity to attend school. A nearby hotel is furnishing blankets and towels so that the children will have a comfortable spot to sit while being schooled.

Powdersville Self Storage is currently sponsoring nine (9) children in this rural area, along with paying a young man to serve as the children’s school instructor. We are wanting to be able to furnish school supplies for 16 more children.

We need help! We need school instructional materials specifically targeted for preschool through fifth grade, preferably in DVD or CD format, as this will be easy and quick to ship to Jamaica. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please make donations out to Pop’s Pantry. Your donation is tax deductible, and will be used to purchase the needed school curriculum.

We thank you in advance for your generosity as you help us give these children a chance to learn and grow and become what God would have them to be.

Update: The Overseas Mission Project

Presentation of a $100 donation on behalf
of Mr. Robert Merritt. Thank you!

In a previous post about the overseas mission project, we wrote about the tremendous needs of the people in the city of Lod, Israel. This is a project undertaken by Powdersville Self Storage, along with the Premier Foundation.

We are pleased to be able to say that progress is being made.

Nearly enough money has been raised for the purchase of an old truck. This is to be used for a "Meals on Wheels" style ministry.

Also, a forklift truck has been purchased. This is needed to move food around the center, and a refrigerator for storing perishables is in place!

Money is still needed to renovate the existing site, especially the plumbing.

In The Spirit of Giving

Powdersville Self Storage, along with the Premier Foundation, have undertaken a huge mission project overseas, and we need your help!

There is a tremendous need in the city of Lod, Israel, for a shelter that would feed hundreds of single moms, children, the homeless, and even the survivors of the Holocaust. Currently, approximately sixty (60) meals are served per day. With the help of the Premier Foundation, and with the support of Powdersville Self Storage, the goal is to furnish an entire kitchen whereby hundreds would be fed two (2) meals per week on Fridays and Saturdays.

Their current needs are:

1. An old vehicle in which to transport foods to the actual building where the food will be prepared, as well as for delivering meals to those people who are “ashamed” to come to the center to receive this free meal, and to take meals to the elderly, some of which are Holocaust survivors, who are not able to come to the center. 
2. A forklift is needed to be able to move the large pallets of food around the center. 
3. A refrigerator to store all the perishable items. 
4. Renovation of the current site with emphasis on the plumbing.

 Would you be willing to “share your plenty” with those who are so much less fortunate than we are here in the United States? With Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, what better gift to give than to help feed the hungry in such a poverty-stricken place.

Donations can be made to the Premier Foundation, and mailed to the following:

The Premier Foundation P O. Box 51482 Piedmont, SC 29673

Spreading God's Love From Greenville South Carolina To An Overseas Coffee Shop

Photo credit: Timothy Boyd (dyobmit on Flickr)

A customer of Powdersville Self Storage who once owned a coffee shop here in Greenville, South Carolina had an idea: What if a coffee shop could be established overseas in one of the many countries that desperately needs the love of Christ? This customer, along with Campus Crusade for Christ (“CRU”) ministry, is working to establish just such a coffee shop! Who would have thought - spreading the good news of Christ through a cup of coffee! It's a powerful idea. Let's pray for God's blessing to make it a reality.

Powdersville Self Storage is a strong supporter of Campus Crusade for Christ!

Premier Foundation, with the support of Powdersville Self Storage, sponsors trip to Israel to aid those in need

Representatives of Premier Foundation, with the support of Powdersville Self Storage, are headed to the country of Israel during the month of September. Premier Foundation is a non-profit organization with its headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina. The foundation is headed up by its President, Gene Krcelic. Mr. Krcelic is a customer of Powdersville Self Storage.

Premier’s belief statement is the following: “The Premier Foundation is an international Christian non-profit organization committed to being a voice for the disadvantaged.  We exist to love and serve the impoverished by meeting their physical, spiritual, educational, social and emotional needs; thus, empowering them to be agents of change in their own communities.”

There is a tremendous need in the city of Lod, Israel, for a shelter that would feed hundreds of single moms, children, the homeless, and the survivors of the Holocaust.  Currently, approximately sixty (60) meals are served per day.  With the help of the Premier Foundation, and with the support of Powdersville Self Storage, the goal is to furnish an entire kitchen whereby hundreds would be fed more than just one (1) meal a day.

It is our prayer that the needs of these people would be met and that they would feel the love of God from the services provided!

Powdersville Self Storage to sponsor Thrift Store in Romania

Photo Credit: Lisa Cyr (borderlys on Flickr)

For the past several years, Powdersville Self Storage, has sponsored a child in Romania by donating funds that would enable an orphaned child to receive one (1) hot meal per day and also be able to attend school.

Now, with the full support of Powdersville Self Storage, there are plans to open a Thrift Store in Romania, to aid those who are in need of shelter, furniture, etc.  We have a unit specially designated for household goods and clothing.  When that unit becomes full, we will then ship the contents to Romania and then the container, itself, will also be left behind to convert into a home for the needy.

Powdersville First Baptist plans a trip to Romania once every year to deliver these goods, as well as to establish church buildings, work on existing buildings, and work with individuals there to train them on how to reach out to the community by sharing God’s love. Donations to sponsor a Romanian orphan can be made at Powdersville First Baptist Church, located at 4212 Highway 153, Easley, South Carolina. Your checks can be made out to “Hope for Romania”, and are tax-deductible.

We appreciate your support!

Thank you!

Thanks to you, Powdersville Self Storage has been named winner in the Best Of The Upstate contest... again! That's 7 years in a row. Thanks to all of you who voted and to all of our customers.
