U-Haul Offers Free Storage to Tornado Victims in Texas

May 14, 2015

The U-Haul Companies of East Dallas and Northwest Dallas announced on May 11 that they are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers to residents affected by the tornado outbreak in Van, Texas and surrounding areas.

U-Haul stores have much-needed supplies available to help with storm recovery, such as boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. U-Haul urges customers to stop in to ensure that their propane tanks are topped off, as propane is an important item to have on hand in the event of long-term power outages.

With U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. Also, U-Haul can store the U-Box container in our secure warehouse or even pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice. U-Box containers are subject to availability. Please contact a regional office below for more information.

UBox1In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin.

Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact the following U-Haul regional offices.
