HOUSTON, Sept. 11, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U-Haul Companies of Corpus Christi, South Houston and North Houston are offering 30 days of free storage to Texas residents in danger of being affected by Hurricane Ike.
In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, families 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 the recycling bin.
