As the holiday season approaches, November and December bring a rise in community-driven efforts to support those in need. Food drives, fundraisers, and charity events are popular during these months in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA. While these events focus on giving back to the community, they can present logistical challenges—especially when it comes to maintaining hygiene and comfort for volunteers and attendees.

American Sanican is proud to support these local events and charitable efforts by providing reliable sanitation solutions, ensuring that every event runs smoothly, regardless of the season. From portable toilets to handwashing stations, our services keep participants comfortable and healthy while they contribute to a good cause.

Sanitation at Winter Charity Events

Many winter fundraisers and food drives are held outdoors, or in temporary venues with limited access to restrooms or water. Events like these, often involving dozens of people, require accessible sanitation facilities to meet the basic needs of both volunteers and attendees. Without proper hygiene measures in place, people working and attending these events can face discomfort and health risks, particularly during the cold and flu season.

Whether your event is a small neighborhood food drive or a large-scale charity fundraiser, portable restrooms and other sanitation services from American Sanican ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone involved.

At American Sanican, we understand the unique needs of charity events, and offer a range of portable solutions that are perfect for winter fundraisers and food drives. Here’s how we can help:

Portable Toilets for Events

Winter charity events like packing holiday gift boxes or distributing family meals often lack access to indoor restrooms, especially when held in public parks, parking lots, or temporary outdoor locations. Portable toilets are an essential part of maintaining comfort and hygiene at these events. American Sanican provides clean, well-maintained portable restrooms that are convenient for both volunteers and attendees.

Long shifts at food drives or fundraisers require accessible facilities for those working hard to support the cause. Our higher-quality trailered restroom units are equipped to handle the colder temperatures, ensuring a comfortable experience, even in the chilly months.

Handwashing Stations for Hygiene and Safety

In any large gathering, especially in colder months when colds and flu spread more easily, hygiene is a top priority. Our portable handwashing stations allow event attendees and volunteers to maintain proper hand hygiene throughout any event.

Handwashing stations encourage participants to make sure their hands are clean before handling food donations or interacting with others. To minimize contact, our stations are equipped with foot pumps, allowing for hands-free operation.

ADA-Compliant Restrooms for Accessibility

Accessibility is critical at any public event, and charity efforts are no exception. American Sanican offers ADA-compliant portable restrooms, ensuring that individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges have access to clean, comfortable facilities. By providing accessible restrooms, event organizers can accommodate all attendees, making sure everyone feels welcome to help out in their community.

Reliable Service

We know that a smooth-running event is key to success, which is why American Sanican offers ongoing maintenance and service during events to ensure restrooms and handwashing stations are kept clean and well-stocked. From setup to breakdown, our team provides full-service support, allowing event organizers to focus on running a great event, and not the restroom situation.
