This week, her team announced the rapper’s organization, the Pete and Thomas Foundation partnered with Bread of Life Inc. (BOL) to launch an Emergency Power Program.
The new initiative will reportedly provide FREE generators to ensure senior citizens in Houston have access to electricity, especially after Hurricane Beryl left millions without power for several days, with thousands still struggling without electricity in the sweltering heat.

Recognizing the increasing frequency of severe weather events in Houston, the Pete and Thomas Foundation and BOL established the program to support senior citizens in the short term and provide a long-term solution to protect them from future emergencies and power outages.
“It’s been painful to watch the elderly population in Houston suffer without electricity during these devastating storms,” said Megan. “That’s why we wanted to partner with Bread of Life to take a strategic approach to this problem and secure generators to help protect our senior citizens. We need to do our part to provide our elders with the best resources possible to withstand future emergencies.”
Megan established her non-profit organization, the Pete and Thomas Foundation, in February 2022 to uplift and assist women, children, senior citizens, and other underserved communities.
“We want to expand our support of the most vulnerable people in the city, and Hurricane Beryl, the derecho, and other storms have highlighted that our seniors are in dire need of assistance,” said Rudy Rasmus, Executive Director and Founder of Bread of Life, Inc. “Through our partnership with Megan Thee Stallion and her Pete and Thomas Foundation, we hope to provide generators to senior personal care homes this hurricane season. Our goal is to provide generators to our most vulnerable seniors ahead of storms or other events that knock out power so there is no interruption in service.”
