Ray and Dan Wilson, co-owners of EZ Access Storage in East Wenatchee, are already in the holiday spirit.

The brothers (that's Dan in photo) were sitting around last week wondering how they could thank the local community for its support of the 24-year-old business, when it dawned on them: “Hey, we own a storage company. Maybe we can do something with storage. Hmmm.”

So beginning Nov. 14, EZ Access will host a free Santa’s Closet, a space for anyone to store holiday gifts out-of-sight from prying eyes and facile fingers. This’ll be especially helpful for families with curious kids who know all the Christmas-gift hiding places around the house, says Ray. The service will run through Dec. 24.

On top of that, EZ Access has plans to become a donation collection point for those in need in the Wenatchee Valley. From Nov. 14 to Dec. 24, the storage company will accept unwrapped gifts during regular business hours for pre-Christmas distribution to a local charity or nonprofit group.

And, while giving is certainly good for the soul, Ray and Dan are tossing in an extra bonus for anyone who donates a gift. Folks who donate will be eligible to receive 30 days of storage free of charge (a $35 to $239 value) at the East Wenatchee location.

“The free storage and gift collection are our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the community that we love,” says Ray. “It’s all in hopes that we can make someone else’s holiday season a little more special as a result.”

Details: EZ Access Storage, 7 Riverside Place. Phone: 886-3216. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
