U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Green Bay Flood Victims

GREEN BAY, Wis., March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company of Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents who have been impacted by flooding in the region.

Steady rains and warming temperatures have sped snowmelt, causing saturated land to flood and rivers to rise. Homes have taken on water and a growing number of families are being displaced, creating a need for dry and secure self-storage where people can stow their belongings.

"There has been a flood warning in effect for days," said Justin Kaminski, U-Haul Company of Northern Wisconsin and the UP president. "More rain is expected this weekend and the snowmelt isn't letting up. There are many affected families and we want to lend a helping hand."
