Beyoncé offers up to $1,000 to storm victims
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.
