Five Chicagoland U-Haul® stores are offering 30 days of free U-Box® container usage to residents who suffered storm damage and need recovery assistance.
Severe weather brought heavy rain and strong winds to the region on Wednesday, including a tornado near O’Hare International Airport.
Having accessibility to portable storage containers during the clean-up process is beneficial to communities affected by natural disasters.
“Secure storage is always in demand after storms, and we are in a fortunate position to help,” explained Angela Farley, U-Haul Company of Chicago Western Suburbs. “U-Haul is ready to assist our neighbors who were impacted by this storm and could use U-Box containers to store their items for one month at no cost.”
U-Box containers provide 257 cubic feet of storage and one-ton capacity. This generous space enables furniture, boxes and other belongings from up to one-and-a-half rooms, on average, to be shipped and stored safely inside each container.
