“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer,” the Houston rapper said.
Despite being on tour abroad, Megan Thee Stallion is paying attention to what’s happening back in her hometown as Houston recovers from Hurricane Beryl.
The Houston rapper is partnering with Bread of Life, Inc. to launch the Emergency Power Program through her Pete and Thomas Foundation, which will help provide generators and electricity to senior citizens in Houston during weather emergencies.
More than 2 million customers lost power during and in the days after Hurricane Beryl. At least 18 people have died in Greater Houston, six of whom died from heat exposure during the outages. As of press time, 18,856 CenterPoint customers were still without power.
“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms,” Megan said in a statement. “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.”
Bread of Life founder Rudy Rasmus highlighted how weather emergencies are an ongoing issue for Houstonians, including the derecho that knocked out power for nearly a million in May.
“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,” Rasmus said. “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.”
This isn’t the first time Megan has worked with Bread of Life. In 2020, Megan helped raise $1.2 million for Bread of Life, gifting the nonprofit the proceeds from “Savage Remix” she recorded with Beyoncé. Megan founded the Pete and Thomas Foundation, named after her parents Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete, Jr., in 2022 to help women, children, senior citizens and underserved communities.
