Beyoncé used the post to highlight relief efforts in her hometown of Houston, with a link to her BeyGOOD Houston campaign. 

The donation page read: "We have teamed up with Bread of LifeGreater Houston Community Foundation, and Texas Southern University, all of whom have been working with the displaced from the start of Hurricane Harvey's landfall."

Last Tuesday, Beyoncé said in a statement to the Houston Chronicle, "My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help. I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John's in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can."
