U-Haul Extends 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Storm Victims in Southwest Missouri

May 1, 2019

U-Haul Company of Missouri is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by the severe storms that moved through southwest Missouri on Tuesday.

Multiple rounds of tornadoes, heavy rains and strong winds caused damage to residential areas and affected roadways in the region.

“After surveying the damage from last night’s storms and with more rain in the forecast, we hope this effort will provide assistance to our neighbors who need support,” stated Aaron Self, U-Haul Company of Missouri president. “These conditions create a need for dry and secure self-storage. U-Haul is happy to provide our disaster assistance program to those in need.”
