Donate MileagePlus miles or money to support hurricane relief
We’ve seen the path of wreckage that Hurricane Melissa has left across the Caribbean. The resulting damage is unprecedented and has displaced thousands of people.
As a global airline, we are uniquely capable of responding to disasters and crisis situations by transporting volunteers and relief supplies to impacted areas of the world. United is proud to partner with relief organizations to support the communities in the region impacted by this crisis. We have committed $300,000 and 1 million miles to the organizations below and for a limited time, when you donate money to any of the aid organizations on this page, we'll match up to $25,000 and 250K miles for each organization. Donate today to help those in need.
