Disaster Relief: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Arkansas Flood Victims

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company of Arkansas is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents who have been or will be impacted by flooding across much of the state.

Severe storms and steady rains over the last several days have flooded streets, backed up city drains and caused many homes to incur water damage.

"We have had four days of torrential downpours," noted Andrew Hicks, U-Haul Company of Arkansas president. "The river overflowed in Arkadelphia. In Little Rock, Jacksonville and other areas, there has been so much rain that the city storm drains can't handle it. We have people in low-lying regions that are getting hit hard.

"We are just trying to help as many families in need as possible. In times like this, we want to extend a hand and provide our neighbors with a dry and secure place to protect their belongings."
