U-Haul Expands 30 Days Free Self-Storage Offer to More Help in the Carolinas
HICKORY, N.C. (Sept. 12, 2017) — More U-Haul Companies in the Carolinas are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box storage container usage to residents who have been affected by the flooding from Hurricane Irma.
Now a tropical storm, Irma has delivered severe flooding to parts of the Carolinas. Thousands of residents are without power.
“Many residents are coming home to rain and wind damage,” U-Haul Company of Western North Carolina president Doug Weston said. “As a responsible corporate citizen and a member of these communities, U-Haul vows to help by providing 30 days of free self-storage to our affected neighbors.”
The U-Haul Companies of Western North Carolina, Central North Carolina and Raleigh have made 15 self-storage facilities across 11 cities available to provide assistance.
