Beyoncé  Announces Plan to Help Her Hometown in the Wake of Hurricane Harvey

Beyoncé has always repped her hometown of Houston, Texas, and now she is pledging to help the tens of thousands of people affected by Hurricane Harvey's flooding and destruction.

Bey told theHouston Chroniclein a statement, "My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help. I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John's in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can."

The BeyGOOD foundation, created in 2013, partners with global charities to assist people with housing, food and medical care.
