Moving Into the ‘Up’ House with PODS

A while back we wrote a blog post about a few houses that have been featured in famous movies. One of those houses featured in that post was the house from Disney/Pixar’s animated movie, ‘Up’. Blair Bangerter designed a house in Herriman, UT to look just like the house in the movie and now the Hamblin family moved in (and they used PODS!).

The Hamblins moved in on January 7th and were very excited to be moving into a home with such a fun background story.

“A lot of things fell into place that directed us toward the ‘Up’ house in Utah and it has been a life changing experience,” said Hamblin. “We plan on growing old in the house and creating memories for a very long time.”

We couldn’t be more excited to have helped this family move into the house of their dreams. Transitioning from California to Utah (especially in the winter) may take some time, so we were more than happy to be there and help out.

“We were so excited when we received a call from Mr. Hamblin regarding helping him to move into the ‘Up’ replicated home,” said George Spowart, chief marketing officer of PODS Enterprises, Inc. “This definitely goes on the list of one of the most interesting moves we have ever done…”

Making a Difference with Toys for Tots

You may have already heard some of the news surrounding Toys for Tots and PODS recently. In case you haven’t, this week we decided that for every 10 likes we get on Facebook, we will donate a dollar to Toys for Tots. So far we’ve gotten around 4,000 new fans helping us donate to a great cause. Thank you everyone for your help!

Now, we want to go a few steps further. Here’s our mission: To reach 25,000 Facebook fans and PODS will donate an additional $1,000 to Toys for Tots. That’s where we need your help. Spread the word any way you can, via Facebook, Twitter, blogs, email, or even passenger pigeon. Every ‘like’ counts and will help us make a difference in so many children’s lives this year.

Think about it, $1,000 can buy a lot of toys. More importantly, those toys will make so many children happy this year. Let’s make a difference together.
