Residents of Texas and other states hit by severe conditions may apply using the Disaster Relief Assistance Application Form. Bread of Life is also accepting donations to provide further assistance.
Last May, Beyoncé and her mom Tina Knowles Lawson teamed up for a campaign that provided coronavirus testing in their hometown of Houston, Texas.
A month prior, BeyGOOD teamed up with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's #StartSmall to donate $6 million to local community-based organizations to provide coronavirus relief.
Additionally, proceeds from Bey and fellow Texan Megan Thee Stallion's 2020 song “Savage (Remix)” were donated to Bread of Life.
According to The Associated Press as of Friday afternoon, at least 58 people in the United States have died due to the brutal weather conditions, with the causes including carbon monoxide poisoning, car accidents, drownings, house fires, and hypothermia.
