Amy’s Attic revives Thanksgiving food basket program across Central Texas

Amy’s Attic Self Storage is bringing back its “Thankful for You – Thanks-Given” Thanksgiving Food Basket Program in 2026, with 12 baskets set to go to families and individuals across six Central Texas locations. Nominations are open to renters, and the baskets will be distributed the week before Thanksgiving with help from local chambers of commerce.

Why it matters: - The program ties holiday giving to local recognition, with food baskets aimed at both people facing hardship and those contributing to their communities. - Amy’s Attic is extending its broader Amy Gives effort, which supports Central Texas families, schools, businesses and community organizations.

What happened: - Amy’s Attic Self Storage announced the return of its “Thankful for You – Thanks-Given” Thanksgiving Food Basket Program for 2026. - The program first launched in 2025 and is back for a second year. - Amy’s Attic will distribute 12 Thanksgiving food baskets across six communities: Belton, Harker Heights, Killeen, Salado, Temple and Waco. - Amy’s Attic renters may nominate people or families who show kindness and service, or who are struggling financially or personally. - Two recipients will be selected from each location. - The baskets will be handed out the week before Thanksgiving. - Local chambers of commerce will help with distribution.

The details: - Bob Vamvas, director of operations at Amy’s Attic Self Storage, said Thanksgiving is about recognizing the people who make towns and neighborhoods unique. - Vamvas said the program is meant to offer kindness, hope and a reminder that the community cares. - Amy’s Attic said the 2025 inaugural event created memorable moments for recipients and community partners. - A Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce representative said a family picked up its turkey dinner after the basket handoff and thanked Amy’s Attic for including the chamber in the event. - Amy’s Attic said it appreciates the chambers that helped make the program possible.

Between the lines: - The program gives Amy’s Attic a visible way to connect its storage business with civic goodwill in the markets it serves. - Limiting nominations to renters helps turn the company’s customer base into a local network for identifying need and community service. - The chamber partnerships suggest the effort is also designed to strengthen ties with local business groups, not just deliver holiday aid.

What’s next: - Amy’s Attic will collect nominations from renters ahead of Thanksgiving. - The company will select two recipients at each of its six locations. - Basket pickups are expected in the week before the holiday.

The bottom line: - Amy’s Attic is using a small, local holiday program to combine charitable giving, customer engagement and community branding across Central Texas. - More information is available through the company’s social channels: Facebook and YouTube.
