The U-Haul Company of Southern Washington is offering 30 days of free storage to residents whose homes may be affected by flooding in the Green River Zone.

In addition to the 30-days-free, self-storage assistance being offered, people 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 a recycling bin.
