One thing Megan Thee Stallion will always do is hold down her hometown of Houston. Meg is outchea being a philanthropic Hottie by giving back to the city as it begins recovering from Hurricane Beryl.
On Thursday, Megan revealed that her Pete and Thomas Foundation is teaming up with Bread of Life Inc. to launch an Emergency Power Program. The program’s goal is to provide Houston, Texas senior citizens with power access during natural disasters. According to Billboard, this initiative follows Hurricane Beryl, which resulted in at least 18 deaths and left two million without power.
In an exclusive press release obtained by US Weekly, Megan Thee Stallion expressed her distress over seeing Houston’s elderly suffer without electricity and emphasized her commitment to providing them with the best resources possible.
“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms.” She added, “That’s why we wanted to partner with Bread of Life to take a strategic approach to this problem and secure generators to help protect our senior citizens. We need to do our part to provide our elders with the best resources possible to withstand future emergencies,” Megan said.
US Weekly reports that Bread of Life founder, Rudy Rasmus discussed the relief plan, stating that their goal is to eventually supply generators to senior personal care homes during hurricane season.
“We want to expand our support of the most vulnerable people in the city, and Hurricane Beryl, the derecho and other storms have highlighted that our seniors are in dire need of assistance. Through our partnership with Megan Thee Stallion and her Pete and Thomas Foundation, we hope to provide generators to senior personal care homes this hurricane season. Our goal is to provide generators to our most vulnerable seniors ahead of storms or other events that knock out power so there is no interruption in service,” Rasmus explained.
Per US Weekly, Megan Thee Stallion established the Pete and Thomas Foundation in 2022 to support women, children, senior citizens, and other underserved communities. Named in honor of her parents, the foundation has assisted over 14,000 people in the past two years.
Commenters under The Shade Room’s Instagram report reacted to Megan’s good deed, giving her props for always coming through for Houston.
