Beyonce reportedly visited her hometown to help Harvey victims. The recent mass flooding caused by the recent hurricane has made thousands of Houston residents lose their homes. According to the Daily Edge, since 2005, the Hurricane Harvey was the first major hurricane to make landfall in the United States, causing at least 70 deaths. FEMA director, Brock Long said that the recovery period would take many years. He further added that the losses are estimated to be between $70 billion to $200 billion, which is mostly sustained by uninsured residents.

On Friday, the "Single Ladies" singer was spotted handing out foods and supplies to Hurrican Harvey victims. Beyonce and her mother have flown home to Houston to join in helping the relief effort for the survivors.

'Houston is my home'

Together with her mother Tina Knowles, daughter Blue Ivy and former bandmate Michelle Williams, they visited St. Johns Church to speak personally with the victims. “This today is a celebration of survival. Y’all are my family. Houston is my home,” the singer said to the people. She further added, “That thing that really matters is your health, your children, and your family.”

The three generations of Knowles have joined the head of St. Johns Church, Pastor Rudy Rasmus in handing victims some supplies and foods.

According to reports, Beyonce has sponsored 400 luncheons for the people during her visit. The 36-year old singer’s BeyGOOD Foundation has partnered with the Bread of Life, a Houston-based non-profit organization in raising funds for the victims.
