Taylor Swift Makes 'Very Sizable Donation' to Houston Food Bank to Help Hurricane Harvey Victims
Taylor Swift has reportedly donated a large sum to the Houston Food Bank in order to help the people affected by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas.
The singer has been revealed to be the latest in a string of celebrities who had extended their hand to the victims of Hurricane Harvey that ravaged most of Houston leaving at least 44 people dead and thousands of homes destroyed last week. The Houston Food Bank confirmed the news through their official Facebook page saying: "Taylor Swift has generously made a very sizable donation to Houston Food Bank in honor of her mother who graduated from the University of Houston. We thank you, Taylor, and we thank everyone for donating to help rebuild our community."
Taylor Swift has kept mostly mum, staying out of the public's eye even when she donated a reportedly "sizable" amount to the organization. Just a few days ago, actor Leonardo DiCaprio had also made a generous donation of $1 million to help the flooding victims. Actress Sandra Bullock also pledged the same amount, while Kim Kardashian-West and her husband, Kanye, donated $500,000 with Miley Cyrus doing the same.
