Lizzo is currently having performances all over Australia but decided to take a break to help out the Australian Food Bank in Victoria. Not only did she physically help sort and pack hampers in the warehouse, but she also joined with the Foodbank to create a website for donations, which are accepting food and water for the victims who are being affected by the devastating wildfires.

“100% that Foodbank!” Thanks again @lizzo for visiting our warehouse yesterday and chatting with our hardworking volunteers and staff who have been working tirelessly to provide food relief to bushfire affected communities.

 To get a better understanding of the devastation of these fires, according to the New York Times, these fires have been said to be the worst in Australian history, since it’s affected every single state in the country. Besides that, it’s been estimated that 1 billion animals have been killed by the fires, more than two dozen of human lives have passed away and about 25 million acres of land have been on fire.

Multiple stars such as Elton John, Kylie Jenner and Chris Hemsworth have donated about $1 million dollars to help those in need.
