7 U-Haul stores are participating in
disaster relief efforts after Tuesday's destructive
storms
LANSING,
Mich., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage
and U-Box® container storage to residents impacted by
the tornadoes that tore through several counties in southern
Michigan this week, leaving
widespread damage in their wake.
The impact of these storms was felt in Kalamazoo, St.
Joseph, Branch and
Cass counties, among other areas.
Many victims are now dealing with substantial home, business and
property damage.
Access to dry and secure
U-Haul self-storage rooms and portable storage
containers is essential for communities during the clean-up process
after natural disasters.
Melissa Pearl, U-Haul Company of
Central Michigan president, has
made seven facilities available to offer the disaster relief
program across the affected region.
"U-Haul is a proud part of these communities, and great
communities work together through the tough times when disaster
strikes," Pearl said. "We want people to know we are available to
help."
The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box
rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer is limited to
on-site storage at U-Haul facilities (does not include delivery to
or pick-up from residential locations).
