Simone Biles & Her Family Give Back To Houston By Volunteering at a Hurricane Harvey Relief Shelter

Simone Biles is helping her hometown out while Hurricane Harvey goes on.

During today’s Day of Giving telethon and relief initiative, the Olympic gymnast and her family were volunteering at a local shelter in nearby Cunroe to support those impacted by the natural disaster.

“We were up at 5 am & started volunteering this morning because we wanted to help our city,” Simone wrote on Instagram.

“There is always something you can do to give back & it doesn’t always have to be money,” she told her fans, urging them to give back in some way. “These shelters still need volunteers, clothes, food & blood donations! It will make their day!”

She added later, “I thank all of the first responders, coast & national guards, army, and volunteers for their endless efforts & support to help. XO.”

So far, the initiative and relief fund has raised over $4.4 million.
