U-Haul Offers Assistance to Storm Victims in Louisiana

LAKE CHARLES, LA. – U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers to all residents who have been affected by severe storms in the Lake Charles area.

U-Haul made the announcement on April 20.

U-Haul stores have much-needed supplies available to help with storm recovery, such as boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. U-Haul urges customers to stop in to ensure that their propane tanks are topped off, as propane is an important item to have on hand in the event of long-term power outages.

With U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. U-Haul also can store the U-Box container in our secure warehouse or even pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.
