LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U-Haul Company of Arkansas is offering 30 days of free storage to Arkansas residents whose homes have been damaged by the recent storms and tornadoes.
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 the recycling bin.
Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact the following storage facilities.
