SPRINGFIELD, Mo., June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by the
severe storms that slammed Springfield and surrounding areas early
Thursday morning.
High winds knocked down trees and damaged homes from
Springfield to Ozark.
"The damage to these communities is fairly significant," said
Aaron Self, U-Haul Company of
Missouri president. "These
families are already facing the challenges brought on by the
COVID-19 outbreak, and now they have another hurdle. As people
begin the clean-up process, we want to offer them a secure place to
store their belongings at no cost for one month."
People seeking more information about the U-Haul disaster relief
program or needing to arrange 30 days of free self-storage should
