Hummers of Hope.

This article reports that the organization Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies (HOPE) performed a variety of volunteer work following Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. The work ranged from road condition reconnaissance to transporting damage assessors to bringing supplies to shelters. HOPE's members relied on their vehicles' 18-inch ground clearance, and heavy-duty towing abilities to make their way through flooded streets and back roads, clearing away trees and debris as they traveled. HOPE was created after floods in 2001 in West Virginia, when a group of Hummer's owners banded together to help.
