Texas native Megan Thee Stallion is looking to provide generators for senior citizens across Houston and prepare them for future natural disasters.

After Hurricane Beryl hit Texas and left 2 million people without power, the Houston hottie wanted to help her city.

Here is how she plans to do so.

Megan Thee Stallion launches Emergency Power Program

The artist — who's real name is Megan Pete — is partnering with Bread of Life, Inc. to launch the Emergency Power Program through her Pete and Thomas Foundation. The organizations will provide generators for elderly residents throughout Houston and grant them the ability to utilize electricity during natural disasters.

"It's been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms,” she 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.”
