Taylor Swift donates to Houston Food Bank

Press Trust of India  |  Los Angeles 

Pop star has made a "very sizable donation" to a food in Houston, Texas, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey.

The 27-year-old singer - whose mother graduated from the University of Houston - donated an unspecified amount to the Houston Food in order to help those affected by the storm which caused untold damage to the Texan city last weekend, reported E! online.


The organisation took to their page to thank the "Look What You Made Me Do" hitmaker for her charitable deed, and wrote, "has generously made a very sizable donation to Houston Food in honour of her mother who graduated from the University of Houston. We thank you, Taylor, and we thank everyone for donating to help rebuild our community. #houstonstrong (sic)."

Taylor isn't the only celebrity who has shown their support for those affected by the natural disaster either, as Houston native Beyonce recently revealed her charity BeyGOOD would be setting up a relief effort as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock donated a whopping USD 1 million to a relief effort.

'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star Kris Jenner and her daughters - Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner - have also donated USD 500,000 to the victims of the disaster.
