Volunteer pilots hope to deliver 40,000 meals per day to the island nation, which was hammered by Hurricane Dorian.

Some of that aid will be coming via a special World War II-era plane from Montana.The C-47 plane, known as Miss Montana, left the state on Saturday for its trip down south. It stopped in Florida and sometime on Monday it will leave Fort Lauderdale to deliver the first of load of meals for Bahamians in need, according to CNN affiliate KECI. The volunteers had originally planned to make delivery runs for two weeks but will stay longer if needed.

"People are moving from shelter to shelter and school to school or wherever they can sleep, and it gives them something to be able to put their stuff in to take," volunteer Tia Komberec told KECI.Hurricane Dorian decimated much of Grand Gahamas and Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas. The official death toll from the storm remains at 50, but officials warn the number will almost certainly rise.

Memo to Trump: You’re Denying Bahamians Because They’re BlackIn TheRevAl's weekly memo to Pres. Trump: 'As we just heard from you, you're worried that taking in refugees from a country that happens to be predominantly black will open us up to bad people who will exploit asylum to expand their drug franchise.' TheRevAl our weekly memo to Al MLK would not be your friend if he was still alive. Al has gone against every thing MLK stood for. WE will never be like Europe who are having problems with refugees, Democrats take money from drug cartels so they can bring there drugs in. TheRevAl Yeah ok, Jan....🙄🙄🙄 TheRevAl Omg mr al is such a racist hypocrite
