U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Calgary Storm Victims

Jun 14, 2020

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by the severe storms that slammed Calgary and surrounding areas on Saturday night.

A storm brought tennis-ball-sized hail and flooding to the city.

“Several neighborhoods were hit hard and the property damage is significant,” said Naga Chennamsetty, U-Haul Company of Southern Alberta president. “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.”
