HOUSTON -- Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and actress Beyoncé came back to her hometown of Houston to invite fans to help Feeding America deliver millions of meals to the hungry.
Beyonce Knowles asks hometown fans to help fight hunger in Houston.
Beyoncé asked fans to bring non-perishable food items to her concert on July 4. All donations were given to the Houston Food Bank for distribution to the hungry in our community.
"To know that I can use my voice to do something that helps people makes me feel good," said Beyoncé, when asked why she partnered with General Mills Hamburger Helper to help feed hungry Americans. "There is no better feeling than giving back."
Through her partnership with General Mills Hamburger Helper, Beyonce’ has a goal of helping Feeding America deliver more than 3.5 million meals to local food banks through the Show Your Helping Hand™ campaign.
This is the first year that Beyoncé has teamed up with General Mills, but it's not the first time she has tried to help raise donations for food banks. Pastor Rudy says the superstar has been involved in helping people for years, starting back to the days when she attended St. John's Downtown Church in Houston.
"She grew up sitting in a pew beside hungry people," said Pastor Rudy. "She grew up in a church in downtown Houston."
If you weren't able to drop off a non-perishable food item at the Beyoncé Experience tent prior to her concert, you can still help out by visiting www.shareyourhelpinghand.com and entering the barcode found on specialty marked Hamburger Helper products. For every code entered, $0.18 will be donated to local food banks
