U-Haul Extends a Helping Hand: 30 Days Free Storage Amidst Southern Louisiana’s Turmoil
Amidst the turmoil caused by tornadoes and flooding in southern Louisiana, U-Haul ® steps in with a helping hand, offering 30 days of complimentary self-storage to affected residents, including those in the New Orleans metro area.
The relentless onslaught of severe weather, with its punishing winds and torrential rains, has wreaked havoc across the region. Slidell and eastern St. Tammany Parish bear the scars of a ferocious tornado, while New Orleans finds itself under the ominous shadow of a flash flood warning.
In the aftermath of such devastation, families find themselves uprooted, homes damaged, and the path to recovery fraught with challenges. Access to secure and dry self-storage units becomes a lifeline for communities grappling with the aftermath of natural disasters.
Patrick Allen, President of U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana, acknowledges the magnitude of the destruction, stating, “The toll these tornadoes and storms have taken is substantial. As our neighbors grapple with the daunting task of rebuilding their lives, we extend a gesture of solidarity—30 days of free storage to those in need. It’s a small measure of support during a trying time.”
Ten U-Haul stores stand ready to offer 30 days of complimentary storage services, a beacon of hope amidst the chaos. The U-Haul disaster relief initiative is available for new storage rentals, subject to availability.
