MAGEE, Miss., Mar 27, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) ----U-Haul Company of Mississippi is offering 30 days of free storage to families who were hit by the recent tornado in Magee, Mississippi. Families needing more information about the 30-day-free self-storage assistance program should contact the following storage facilities.

In addition to the free storage program, 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 the recycling bin.
