In response to the devastating fires impacting residents across Greater Los Angeles, U-Haul® has made 92 Company facilities in Southern California available to offer its 30 days free self-storage and U-Box® container disaster relief program to help evacuees and affected families.
The Palisades and Eaton Fires have destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced thousands of people. The Hurst and Lidia Fires are burning northeast of L.A., while the Sunset Fire is ablaze in West Hollywood.
“I cannot put into words the devastation that I have witnessed firsthand,” said Chris Piedra, U-Haul Area District Vice President. “People are hurting and in need of help. U-Haul is part of these communities, and if we can help our neighbors in this process, we are going to do so.”
“When people are in a jam, when there’s a disaster, our heart goes out to them,” Joe Shoen, CEO of U-Haul, told MSM in an exclusive interview last month. “We don’t want their money. We’ve got the space so we let them have it."
U-Haul works directly with the American Red Cross, the military, and local police and fire departments in their efforts to get much-needed relief supplies to areas affected by natural disasters. The company became an official Red Cross Disaster Responder in 2015. The partnership allows the Red Cross access to U-Haul’s range of resources including equipment, storage, and easily reachable U-Haul locations with an infrastructure encompassing 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces.
This newest 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability at participating U-Haul-owned and -operated locations.
