Beyoncé Initiates BeyGOOD Houston Initiative to Aid Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts

During Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, Beyoncé launched BeyGOOD Houston to support those affected by the hurricane in Houston. The organization donated necessities such as cots, blankets, pillows, baby products, feminine products, and wheelchairs, and funded long-term revitalization projects. On September 8, Beyoncé visited Houston, where she sponsored a lunch for 400 survivors at her local church, visited the George R Brown Convention Center to discuss with people displaced by the flooding about their needs, served meals to those who lost their homes, and made a significant donation to local causes. Beyoncé additionally donated $75,000 worth of new mattresses to survivors of the hurricane. Later that month, Beyoncé released a remix of J Balvin and Willy William's 'Mi Gente', with all of her proceeds being donated to disaster relief charities in Puerto Rico, Mexico, the U.S., and the Caribbean after hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, and the Chiapas and Puebla earthquakes.
