Thousands of National Guard and active-duty service members are providing lifesaving support in Florida and across the Southeast after Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton caused massive damage across the region. Take a look at these photos for a few examples of the vital work they’re doing on the ground.

Florida National Guard assists in high-water rescue missions in Florida after Hurricane Milton.

Search and rescue teams have conducted over 4,200 rescues and assists since Hurricane Milton struck Florida as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, service members in western North Carolina are delivering critical supplies, including water and food, to communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.

They’re also working to help communities recover from unprecedented flooding — and they’ll remain in communities as long as it takes to support those affected by these disastrous storms.

Thousands our service members work around the clock to reach survivors and help communities recover from disasters like Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene, your support can make a meaningful difference. With your support, the USO is on the ground with our heroes wherever they go.

Thanks to supporters like you, our USO Mobile Centers were the first to bring internet access to disaster-stricken areas in North Carolina.

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, National Guard members had been working hard for days when our Mobile USO team arrived on the scene. They provided dry socks and served over 900 hot dogs, giving these heroes a well-deserved hot meal and respite.

Everything we do to support the people who serve is made possible by the generosity of supporters like you. So please, will you rush a donation of $29 or more to support our heroes in uniform serving around the globe?*

Thank you for supporting all who serve, especially now.
