Beyoncé will contribute $1 million to organizations providing on-the-ground assistance in Colombia, Parkwood Entertainment announced Tuesday (Aug. 25) in a press release. The funds are earmarked for immediate food and housing supplies for communities hardest hit by the magnitude-7.4 earthquake that struck near San José del Palmar, in Chocó, on Aug. 10.
The quake caused extensive damage to homes, infrastructure and roads, while also disrupting food supplies across multiple areas. In response, Parkwood and the superstar encouraged those seeking to support relief efforts to donate to Food For The Poor and World Central Kitchen, both actively aiding affected communities.
