IN SEPTEMBER 2019, HURRICANE DORIAN MADE LANDFALL ON THE ABACO ISLANDS IN THE BAHAMAS AS THE STRONGEST HURRICANE ON RECORD TO HIT THE AREA. WITHIN DAYS OF THE STORM'S PASSING, VOLUNTEERS FROM THE STUART, FLORIDA AREA SET UP A DONATION SITE FOR CRITICAL SUPPLIES INCLUDING MEDICAL, FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING, GENERATORS, AND BABY SUPPLIES THROUGH A LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. IN OCTOBER 2019, 25 UNITED WAS ESTABLISHED TO TAKE OVER THE DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS. IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, 25 UNITED FLEW APPROXIMATELY 20 TRIPS FROM STUART, FLORIDA TO THE ABACO ISLANDS ON ROTATING 3-4 DAY DEPLOYMENTS OF VOLUNTEERS.
