Over the past several weeks, a fleet of Mobile USO teams have been operating in the southeast region – including Florida – in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which struck in late September. As soon as Hurricane Milton made landfall, these Mobile USO teams began reorganizing resources in order to deploy support members of the National Guard responding to the storm. As the Mobile USO team in Florida wraps up their operations surrounding Hurricane Milton, they are hitting the road again and joining USO teams still on the ground in North Carolina, who have continued to provide support to National Guard members serving in this area. The destruction of Hurricane Helene continues to have devastating effects on local communities in North Carolina, and the people serving in our military are still working around-the-clock to deliver critical supplies and clear roads. Aside from Mobile USO teams delivering support where it’s most needed, a temporary USO Center has also been built to provide a physical space for these service members to briefly rest, check in with their loved ones and refuel. The USO will continue to provide these resources in North Carolina over the next several weeks as service members carry out their crucial work. As long as the people serving in the National Guard and other branches of the military are working hard with continued Hurricane Helene relief, the USO will be right there beside them, supporting them through their missions. https://lnkd.in/gtE-aJ9M

Normally, during a deployment, it's the service member who receives a care package. But in this case, parents serving in Iraq flipped this tradition on its head and - with the help of the USO - assembled back-to-school care packages for their children back home. Even if they couldn't be there for their kids on their first day of school, the USO helped these military families remain connected throughout deployment. Read more here: https://brnw.ch/21wNEMm

More than 6,000 members of the National Guard from 16 states across the U.S. have been activated and are providing assistance in the wake of Hurricane Helene. For many of these service members, this work is personal – they are members of the very communities that have been affected by Hurricane Helene. As service members continue to work around-the-clock in dangerous conditions in order to provide critical support to southeastern communities, they themselves need support as well. And that’s where we come in. https://brnw.ch/21wNzZb
