Boone Center, Inc. (BCI)—a nonprofit that enhances the lives of adults with disabilities through employment programs and opportunities—is now offering flexible storage at its new auxiliary warehouse in St. Peters. With nearly 2,000 standard pallet positions and 133,000 cubic feet available for third-party warehousing, BCI is opening this space to local businesses.
A recent relocation of the organization’s auxiliary warehouse to Lakeside Logistics Center, strategically situated near BCI’s main packaging facility, has enabled the organization to streamline operations and reduce costs. The expanded space allows BCI to better serve packaging clients by meeting their inbound and outbound storage requirements.
In addition to serving its own storage needs, the added capacity at Lakeside also opened the door for BCI to provide third-party warehousing to businesses outside of its current customer base. The Lakeside location’s prime position along the I-370 corridor makes it an ideal choice for companies needing to store and ship products by land, rail, or air.
“We’re thrilled to offer this additional service to the market,” said BCI CEO Troy Compardo. “This larger facility enhances our operational efficiencies and enables us to support businesses in the region better. Every partnership we build through this new service will ultimately help us further our mission of providing opportunities for people with disabilities.”
BCI Packaging, a contract packaging and light manufacturing firm that employs 250 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is the home of BCI’s organizational employment program. The nonprofit also runs two other employment programs that result in competitive, integrated employment in the community.
“From 20 pallets to 2,000, we can meet a wide range of warehousing needs,” said BCI Chief Sales Officer Brian Corrigan. “In addition to standard 40” x 48” x 56” pallets, we can handle a variety of oversized pallets for both short- and long-term storage.”
