Beyonce returned to her home town of Houston,
Texas, to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Thousands of people were left homeless and dozens
died following flooding caused by the hurricane last
month.
The singer was seen handing out food to survivors,
along with Destiny's Child band mate Michelle
Williams and mum Tina.
The moment was captured by videos posted on
Instagram by Tina.
In the post, Tina said: "That's Michelle Williams at the
beginning of line, serving the chicken, Beyonce on
Green beans and me on bread duty."
In another video posted by Tina, Beyonce is seen
speaking at St. John's United Methodist Church in
Houston where she says the day was "a celebration of
survival".
In the post Tina said it was a "touching moment" for
her being back at the church where Beyoncé sang her
first solo as a 14-year-old.
The volunteers are all seen wearing t-shirts with the
'BEYGOOD' slogan - Beyonce's charity which provides
clothes, food, shelter, healthcare, jobs and counselling
to those in need.
The pictures emerged a week after actor Kevin Hart
publicly told Beyonce to get donating to her storm-
ravaged home state of Texas.
Kevin coughed up $25,000 and urged Beyonce and
others including her husband Jay-Z , Justin
Timberlake and The Rock, to stick their hands in their
pockets.
But Beyonce's pastor, Rev. Rudy Rasmus from St.
John's, said he was working with Beyonce - who was
raised in the city’s Third Ward - to help gather
supplies so that when they rain finally stops,
essentials could be dished out to those in need.
And yesterday, they did exactly that.
Just a fortnight after Hurricane Harvey, Americans are
buckling down for more destruction and devastation to
be caused by Hurricane Irma.
