ST. LOUIS – Thanks to Reynolds Transfer & Storage Co., Inc., a Madison, Wis.-based United Van Lines agent, a family in Thibodeaux, La., was the recipient of a very special delivery.

Leila Southall and her four grandchildren have been living in a rundown trailer since Hurricane Katrina turned their lives upside down. Reynolds Transfer recently delivered a box to them – a box containing a new house.

Volunteers with Habitat for Humanity of Dane (Wisconsin) County and Gordon Flesch Charitable Foundation hammered together the walls of a modular home that were inside the box. These walls will become Southall’s new home. The parts of the "home in a box" were loaded into a Reynolds Transfer & Storage moving van and were taken from Wisconsin to Louisiana.

The project is being paid for by the Gordon Flesch Charitable Foundation, which contributed $75,000 for the four-bedroom home.
United Van Lines transports electronic equipment, trade show exhibits and displays, works of art, and specialized freight, in addition to household goods.

United, with headquarters located in suburban St. Louis, maintains a network of 1,000 affiliated agencies in 135 countries around the world. More information about United and its services can be obtained through the company’s Web site at www.unitedvanlines.com.
