In the wake of Hurricane Beryl’s devastating impact on Houston, rapper Megan Thee Stallion is stepping up to ensure that senior citizens in her hometown have access to electricity during future natural disasters. The Grammy-winning artist has partnered with Bread of Life, Inc. to launch the Emergency Power Program through her Pete and Thomas Foundation.
Providing Generators for Seniors
The Emergency Power Program aims to address the critical needs of Houston’s elderly population. With power outages becoming increasingly common during storms, many seniors have been left vulnerable without electricity. Meg’s initiative seeks to change that by distributing generators to senior citizens across the city.
In a statement, Megan Thee Stallion expressed her concern for the well-being of Houston’s elders: “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.”
The Pete and Thomas Foundation
The Pete and Thomas Foundation, named after Meg’s late parents Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete Jr., was established in 2022. The foundation focuses on assisting underserved communities, including women, children, and senior citizens. Its core areas of impact include education, housing, health, and wellness.
Meg’s commitment to her hometown and her dedication to supporting vulnerable populations demonstrate the power of artists using their influence for positive change. As Houston continues to recover from Hurricane Beryl, Megan Thee Stallion’s Emergency Power Program serves as a beacon of hope for senior citizens facing uncertain times.
