Tornado Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage on Cape Cod

Jul 24, 2019

U-Haul Company of Southern Massachusetts & Cape Cod is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents on Cape Cod who were impacted by Tuesday’s tornado.

The twister touched down in South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth and Harwich. Tens of thousands of people lost power and many homes have sustained damage.

“The storm came in very quickly and caught many residents off guard,” said Stoyan Kovachev, U-Haul Company of Southern Massachusetts & Cape Cod president. “U-Haul is stepping up to offer our neighbors a place to securely store their belongings during the clean-up process. We’re proud to be part of this community.”

In addition to its 30 days free self-storage disaster relief program, U-Haul is proud to be at the forefront of aiding communities in times of need as an official American Red Cross Disaster Responder.
