U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Flood Victims in Peoria
PEORIA, Ill. (May 7, 2019) — U-Haul Company of Central Illinois is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by rising flood waters from the Illinois River.
Multiple roads have been closed and residential areas are in danger of taking on water. The river is expected to crest nearly 10 feet above the flood stage in Peoria.
“The flood conditions in central Illinois have created an immediate need for dry and secure self-storage,” stated Zareh Minasian, U-Haul Company of Central Illinois president. “As a caring member of this community, U-Haul is extending our disaster relief program to those in need, at no cost for one month.”
