LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (May 1, 2010) — The U-Haul Company of Arkansas is offering 30 days of free storage at participating U-Haul storage at centers throughout Little Rock and the surrounding community. Families needing more information about the 30-days-free storage assistance program should contact the following U-Haul regional office to locate the U-Haul storage center closest to their home.

In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people needing 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 a recycling bin. U-Haul also has propane available and urges customers to stop in to ensure that their propane tanks are topped off, since propane is a good thing to have on hand when these storms come through.

“These tornadoes have caused tremendous damage to the communities we serve,” stated Ken Vadnais, president, U-Haul Company of Arkansas. “I hope this effort will provide assistance to families that truly need a helping hand if their homes or businesses were affected by these tornadoes. We will continue to help our friends and neighbors during their time of need.”
