MOINES, Iowa, May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering recovery
assistance to victims in Greenfield, Red
Oak and other areas impacted by the devastating tornadoes
that tore through central Iowa on
Tuesday.
Countless homes in these communities were damaged or destroyed,
and a number of lives were lost.
Access to dry and secure
U-Haul self-storage rooms and portable storage
containers is essential during the recovery process after natural
disasters.
Nikki Newton, U-Haul Company of
Western Iowa president, has made
four facilities available to provide 30 days of free self-storage
and U-Box® container usage. The free U-Box offer
pertains to on-site storage at U-Haul facilities.
"From the pictures I've seen, a lot of families are going to
have to rebuild their homes and neighborhoods," Newton stated.
"Iowa is one big community. We
stick together and help one another. Our U-Haul team wants to
support our neighbors during this difficult time with a month of
free storage for any storm victims who need it."
The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box
