Feb 21, 2017

U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of New Orleans who were impacted by last week’s tornadoes.

The offer is being extended at two U-Haul-owned and -operated facilities in New Orleans.

“One week ago, an EF3 tornado plowed through a two-mile section of New Orleans leaving devastation in its wake,” U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana president Pat Allen said. “We are part of this community. We need to make sure our neighbors are taken care of, and that’s the purpose of our disaster relief program.”
