September 2005

Actor John Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, flew in their own private jet to deliver five tons of food for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

John, an experienced pilot, flew the supplies to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, then toured the flooded city of New Orleans and visited rescue workers and shelters for evacuees. The two movie stars also brought along 400 doses of vaccines for rescuers. By coordinating with Oprah Winfrey, John and Kelly were able to get even more relief for the more than million people affected by one of the worst storms in U.S. history.
