HOUSTON, May 20, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Thirty-three U-Haul stores across
Greater Houston are extending 30
days of free self-storage and U-Box portable storage container
usage to residents impacted by last week's devastating
storms.
Powerful winds and rains caused mass damage to homes and
businesses, toppled trees and downed power lines across a wide
region on May 16. Several fatalities
were reported, and hundreds of thousands of residents were left
without power.
The clean-up process is expected to take time. Access to dry and
secure self-storage rooms and portable storage
containers is critical for communities during the recovery process
following natural disasters.
Lynn Buck, U-Haul Area District
Vice President who oversees operations in and around Houston, announced that three marketing
company offices in his territory will each make 11 self-storage
facilities available to offer disaster relief – totaling 33
participating stores (21 stores in Houston city limits).
The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box
rentals and is based on availability. The free U-Box offer is for
on-site storage at U-Haul facilities and does not include
residential delivery and pick-up of containers.
People seeking more details about the U-Haul disaster relief
program or needing to arrange storage should call the participating
office near them or stop by a U-Haul-owned and -operated facility
