USO Supporter,

Right now, Hurricane Melissa has made landfall and is unleashing devastating wind and rain in the Caribbean. This category 5 storm will deeply impact communities in the region, including thousands of military service members stationed there.

In Florida, the USO team welcomed more than 850 evacuated U.S. citizens and 100 pets from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay — with care and comfort. Families and non-essential personnel were quickly evacuated ahead of the storm, but given its projected impact, they may be away from their homes for weeks.

On October 27, 2025, an Air Force Reserve crew from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron — the fearless “Hurricane Hunters” — flew straight into Hurricane Melissa.

At the USO, we stand ready to care for those who serve — no matter the circumstances. Your generosity makes that possible.

Service members with Joint Task Force Southern Guard are hard at work at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — getting ready for whatever Hurricane Melissa may bring.

Your generosity helps make sure the USO can show up right away — in the moments our service members and their families need us most. Whether they’re facing a hurricane, a sudden evacuation or the everyday challenges of military life, your support means help is never far away.

Help us reach an emergency-response goal of $30,000 via email and text message by midnight to help ensure we’re prepared to support all our service members, no matter what. Please, will you donate now to rush critical supplies and support to our heroes when they’re needed most?

For the People Who Serve,

The USO

P.S. Please give now to provide critical supplies and support to those who bravely serve our country.
