Megan is giving back to her hometown in a major way following the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl. On Thursday (July 18), the Grammy winner’s Pete and Thomas Foundation announced its partnership with Bread of Life Inc. to create an Emergency Power Program. The program provides generators to senior citizens in times of power outages caused by natural disasters. 

“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms. 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. ”

Hurricane Beryl wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and Gulf Coast of the United States earlier this month, reportedly killing at least 50 people and causing over $6 billion dollars in damages. 2.7 million people were without power for hours due to the hurricane's damages and due to the blistering heat, there were six heat-related deaths. 

“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. ”

— Rudy Rasmus, Bread of Life founder 

Meg’s Pete and Thomas Foundation, named after her deceased parents, was founded in 2022. Bread of Life is a Houston-based nonprofit organization that provides resources to Houston’s most vulnerable and underserved citizens.
