U-Haul Offers Assistance to Storm Victims in Oklahoma

May 7, 2015

The U-Haul Company of Oklahoma City announced on May 7 it is offering 30 days of free self-storage to all residents who were affected by devastating tornadoes and severe storms that recently swept through Oklahoma City and surrounding areas.Oklahoma3

U-Haul stores have much-needed supplies available to help with tornado 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, since propane is a good thing 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.

In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin.Oklahoma1

“These recent tornadoes and severe storms that have swept through areas of Oklahoma City have proven to be devastating and have caused a great deal of damage throughout the communities we serve,” stated Marketing Company President Scott Brackin, U-Haul Company of Oklahoma City.

“We hope this effort will help provide assistance to Oklahoma residents who need support. We will do our best to help our friends and neighbors in this time of need.”
