They had sponsored the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride—a coast-to-coast bicycling fundraiser—by providing storage and transportation. They donated storage containers to Middleburg, Florida resident Margaret Gilmore, who lost her home after she spent a year in the hospital due to a heart problem, as part of a community effort. 1-800-PACK-RAT also donates storage to homeless shelters, churches, and nonprofit groups which received mention in the Washington Post.
