LITTLE
ROCK, Ark., April 1,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of
free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted
by the deadly tornadoes that hit Arkansas and several other states on Friday
night.
Media reports have attributed at least five deaths, numerous
hospitalizations, and widespread devastation across the state.
Little Rock was among the cities
to endure extensive damage, and six U-Haul stores in the metro area
have been made available to help.
With numerous families displaced and other homes that will
require repairs, accessibility to dry and secure self-storage units
and portable storage containers during the clean-up process is
always beneficial to communities affected by natural disasters.
"We at U-Haul are deeply saddened by each loss of life," stated
Angela Cogar, U-Haul Company of
Arkansas president. "While
property can be replaced, lives cannot. Even though Friday's
tornado outbreak and severe weather was predicted, it came on
suddenly and caused a large amount of damage.
"Thankfully, our teams have been responding in their hometowns
and at our U-Haul stores. We stand ready to help store your
property for 30 days at no cost if you were affected by the storms.
May God bless and keep you."
U-Box deliveries to residents' homes includes drop-off and
pick-up of containers. The offer of a traditional self-storage room
is available to customers renting new units and is based on vacancy
at participating U-Haul facilities.

program or needing to arrange 30 days of free self-storage or U-Box
