U-Haul Offers 30 Days of Free Self-Storage and U-Box Portable Moving and Self-Storage Containers to Alaska Wildfire Victims

ANCHORAGE (June 17, 2015) —U-Haul Company of Alaska is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers to residents who have been evacuated and those who still need to evacuate or move their belongings away from the Sockeye Fire in the Mat Su Valley, or the Card Street Fire on the Kenai Peninsula.

With U-Box portable moving and self-storage, 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.

Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact the following U-Haul locations.
