Hazelwood Helps Tackle Child Hunger in Santa Barbara

Hazelwood Allied Moving and Storage helped to tackle child hunger this summer by donating $1,000 to The Santa Barbara Foodbank. This donation went towards feeding nearly 38,000 children healthy meals at free picnics across the county.

In a letter to Hazelwood Erin Talkin, Chief Executive of the Foodbank of Santa Barbara, said: “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your generous support of the Foodbank this year. The $1,000 contribution from Hazelwood Moving and Storage during our End Summer Hunger campaign galvanized our work to transform the health of individuals in Santa Barbara County.”

The End Summer Hunger campaign was set up to make sure children are fed over the summer break, when they don’t have access to free or subsidized school meal assistance. Hazelwood’s donation helped the Foodbank’s volunteers serve over 38,000 free healthy lunches to children this summer during their Picnic in the Park outreach program. That’s over 6,000 more free meals than last year.

“Hazelwood is a family-run business and we love living and working in Santa Barbara,” says Casey McCann, owner of Hazelwood Allied Moving and Storage. “We’re passionate about making a positive contribution to our local community and what better way to do that than to help tackle child hunger?”

As a family-run moving company in Santa Barbara, Hazelwood Allied has been a part of the community since it was first established in 1968. Over the last 48 years the Santa Barbara moving company has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau for helping people relocate across California and to other parts of the country. They are long time supporters of community organizations in Santa Barbara such as the Food Bank, and are passionate about helping end child hunger. 

According to a Hunger in America study, Santa Barbara is the 14th worst county in California when it comes to meeting its residents’ daily food needs. The Foodbank is essential in tackling this problem and its mission is to end hunger and improve the health of the local community with food, education and empowerment programs. Each year, 1 in 4 local people in Santa Barbara receive support from the Foodbank and 35 percent of those are children.

Hazelwood will continue to support The Santa Barbara Foodbank as they begin their fall school programs; the Kids’ Famers Market, Teens Love Cooking and Food Literacy in Preschool. You can find out more about the cause and how you can help on the Santa Barbara Foodbank website.

Moving Company

A moving company, removalist or van line is a company that helps people and businesses move their goods from one place to another. It offers all inclusive services for relocations like packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, arranging of items to be shifted. Additional services may include cleaning of the place and warehousing facilities.

Overview

Early movers from 1885, Montréal, Québec

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 40 million United States citizens have moved annually over the last decade. Of those people who have moved in the United States, 84.5% of them have moved within their own state, 12.5% have moved to another state, and 2.3% have moved to another country.

In the U.S. and Canada, the cost for long-distance moves is typically determined by the weight of the items to be moved, the distance, how quickly the items are to be moved, and the time of the year or month which the move occurs. In the United Kingdom and Australia, the price is based on the volume of the items rather than their weight. Some movers may offer flat rate pricing.

The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY moving. Typically, the parties who're moving borrow or rent a truck or trailer large enough to carry their household goods and, if necessary, obtain moving equipment such as dollies, furniture pads, and cargo belts to protect the furniture or to facilitate the moving process itself.

The moving process also involves finding or buying materials such as boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap with which to pack boxable and/or protect fragile household goods, and to consolidate the carrying and stacking on moving day. Self-service moving companies offer another viable option: the person moving buys space on one or more trailers or shipping containers. These containers are then driven by professionals to the new location.

Nowadays moving companies provide transit insurance that covers the damages to moving objects.

Small Appliance

A small appliance or small domestic appliance is a portable or semi-portable machines, generally used on table-tops, counter-tops, or other platforms, to accomplish a household task. Examples include microwave ovens, toasters, humidifiers, and coffee makers. They contrast with major appliances (British "white goods"), such as the refrigerator and washing machine, which cannot be easily moved and are generally placed on the floor. Small appliances also contrast with consumer electronics (British "brown goods") which are for leisure and entertainment rather than purely practical tasks.

Uses

Some small appliances perform the same or similar function as their larger counterparts. For example, a toaster oven is a small appliance that performs a similar function as an oven. Small appliances often have a home version and a commercial version, for example waffle irons, food processors, and blenders. The commercial, or industrial, version is designed to be used nearly continuously in a restaurant or other similar setting. Commercial appliances are typically connected to a more powerful electrical outlet, are larger and stronger, have more user-serviceable parts, and cost significantly more.

Types and examples

• Cooking, such as on a hot plate or with a microwave oven
• Heating, such as an electric heater
• Cooling, such as air conditioning
• Lighting using light fixtures
• Beverage-making, such as electric kettles, coffeemakers or iced tea-makers

Benefits and Disadvantages of Power and Hand Tools

Make sure you have the right skills to use power and hand tools like sidchrome tools. Accidents happen all the time, so it is important to use the proper equipment before using power and hand tools. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these.

Eventually, you have to fix some things at home using either a power or a hand tool. Every house should have a decent set of power and hand to repair damaged equipment and areas. Whether it is the garage, attic, kitchen, car, or lawn, it is always important to keep your tools accessible. This article describes the advantages and disadvantages of power and hand.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Hand Tools

Hand tools offer precision because you can manipulate them easily. Cabinets, musical instruments, and decorations would not be possible without these. It takes a lot of skill to use, which is why you should be careful when using them. Unlike power tools, it does not require any power from a motor. This allows you to use them anytime and anywhere. Because hand do not require motor power to work, they are lightweight and portable.

Despite these advantages, hands have several limitations. It takes a lot longer to finish tasks if you are using hand. For instance, it is faster to hammer something using an air nailer compared to a regular hammer. Apart from that, you need more skills to finish your work if you are using hand.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Power Tools

Unlike hand tools, power sidchrome tools are faster, which makes it easier to finish more tasks in less time. For instance, cutting a large piece of lumber using a handsaw will take you hours even if you have two or three people helping you. With a powered saw, however, you can cut down many pieces of the same lumber in just a few minutes. Another great thing about power tools is they can do tasks that are impossible to do manually. For instance, a jackhammer does not have a manual equivalent. These advantages make power tools the top choice of many workers.

Even with these advantages, power tools are more complex to use than hand tools. Power tools also need more maintenance because they contain motors, gears, and power connections. Any damage to these components can cause power tools to fail. Apart from that, it is also more dangerous to handle power tools because of their increased power and speed. You have to be very careful if you are using power tools. Wear the right safety gear and make sure you know how to operate the tool before using them.

Safety Precautions

Many people make the mistake of using power and hand tools without wearing the right safety equipment. Before using any tool, be sure to wear safety goggles, gloves, boots, and other protective apparel. Be sure to have a first aid kit in the working area in case an accident happens.

Power and hand tools like sidchrome tools make working faster and easier. By using the right tools, you can finish the tasks assigned to you as quickly as possible.
