ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U-Haul Company of St. Louis is offering 30 days of free storage to Missouri residents affected by the recent flooding caused by Tropical Depression Ike.
In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, families 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 and the Take a Box, Leave a Box Program should contact the following storage facilities.
