Tornado Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Jefferson City
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (May 23, 2019) — U-Haul Company of Missouri is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to Jefferson City residents impacted by Wednesday night’s violent weather.
A series of tornadoes touched down in the state’s capital. The twisters caused injuries, scattered cars along debris-filled roads and destroyed homes. The impact has created an immediate need for self-storage in the area as residents seek a place to store belongings during the clean-up and recovery process.
“Since the tornadoes struck late at night, the scale of the damage wasn’t immediately clear,” said Aaron Self, U-Haul Company of Missouri president. “But now we know many families lost their homes or sustained devastating property damage. As a leading Jefferson City business, we want to step forward and help our neighbors. They will be able to store their possessions at no cost for one month.”
