U-Haul Disaster Relief for Toledo and Monroe Flooding

Apr 16, 2018

U-Haul Company of NW Ohio is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable storage containers to residents of Toledo, Monroe and surrounding Lake Erie communities who have been impacted by flooding and mandatory neighborhood evacuations stemming from recent storms.

“We’ve had a lot of rain and high winds, and if the wind is blowing a certain direction on Lake Erie, the lake levels can break over the walls,” said David Vallie, U-Haul Company of NW Ohio president. “Several subdivisions in Monroe have been evacuated. There is flooding in the streets of Toledo. I’ve lived in the area more than 20 years and have never experienced anything like it.

“As a caring and responsible corporate citizen of these communities, we want to help our neighbors in times of need. That’s why U-Haul is offering dry and secure self-storage for people needing to stow their belongings at no charge for one month.”
