Nor’easter Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Storm Victims

ABINGTON, Mass. (Oct. 28, 2021) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at 12 southern Massachusetts facilities to those impacted by the nor’easter in recent days.

The storm brought heavy rains and hurricane-level winds to much of Massachusetts, downing trees and leaving many residents without power. Accessibility to local storage can assist in the community’s recovery and rebuilding after natural disasters.

“As our neighbors begin the process of cleaning up, we want to provide them with a secure place to store their possessions,” said Stoyan Kovachev, U-Haul Company of Southern Mass & Cape Cod president. “The nor’easter left devastation in its wake. We invite those in need to give us a call and secure a storage unit or U-Box container for their belongings at no cost for one month.”

For the next week only, all U-Box deliveries to residents’ homes will be less than $100 anywhere in southern Massachusetts and Cape Cod. This includes delivery and retrieval of the container(s). Use of a U-Box container will be free under the 30-day offer.
