U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by the severe storms that slammed Springfield and surrounding areas early Thursday morning.
High winds knocked down trees and damaged homes from Springfield to Ozark.
“The damage to these communities is fairly significant,” said Aaron Self, U-Haul Company of Missouri president. “These families are already facing the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, and now they have another hurdle. As people begin the clean-up process, we want to offer them a secure place to store their belongings at no cost for one month.”

U-Haul offered one month of free self-storage on March 12 to all college students whose school schedules were interrupted by COVID-19. That offer is ongoing at U-Haul-owned and -operated storage facilities across the U.S. and Canada, and is subject to availability.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul is open to meet the needs of its communities.
