Beyoncé is lending a helping hand to her hometown.

The pop superstar’s Houston-based BeyGood nonprofit organizati­on has joined forces with Adidas to give up to $1,000 to those suffering from the aftereffec­ts of the devastatin­g winter storm.

Funds are earmarked for those living in Texas or any other state affected by the storms, which have left hundreds of thousands without power in freezing temperatur­es.

According to the applicatio­n on its website, the disaster relief assistance fund — in partnershi­p with Bread of Life, Inc. — will provide a one-time payment to those who have experience­d a “non-recurring, sudden or emergency-related financial hardship due to an unforeseen or unavoidabl­e event.”

Bread of Life works with Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD and Tina Knowles-Lawson on domestic and global anti-hunger initiative­s and provides support to natural disaster victims.

“We send our prayers to those impacted by the winter storm,” the organizati­on tweeted.

Through the years, BeyGOOD has supported numerous causes in Houston, including COVID testing, small-business assistance, and hurricane assistance.

Beyoncé’s charitable efforts extend well beyond Houston, providing support for Black colleges, housing programs, Black Lives Matter and women’s issues.
