AceShowbiz - Rita Ora has a heart of gold. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress showed support for the victims of Hurricane Harvey as she was spotted helping volunteers filling in boxes with donation items at a donation center in Houston, Texas on Wednesday, August 30.
In a photo obtained by TMZ, the "Your Song" songstress could be seen listening to an apparent volunteer talking. She looked focused while holding an empty box with her hand. Rita looked casual in a black T-shirt and navy training pants.
Earlier that day, Rita took to Twitter to express her wish to help the victims. "I'm trying to find a Houston Texas shelter in Dallas to go and help before I leave Texas!" she tweeted, before adding, "I want to help."

However, @Gleeson84 thought it was unnecessary for Rita to announce it on social media. "And you needed to announce this to twitter and not just do it anonymously because....?" s/he snarked, before adding, "You're telling me with all the people she has around her they are unable to get this information. Bollocks! She did he same with grenfell."
Any you needed to announce this to twitter and not just do it anonymously because....?

Rita wasn't the only one who offered to help the victims as Kevin Hart previously started Hurricane Harvey Relief challenge, saying that he had donated money to the Red Cross and asked other celebrities to make donations. "I think we've participated in a lot of challenges on the Internet, some meaningful, some meaningless, but we've all done them. I've been a person that's partaken in several of them," he said in a video, before calling on Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake as well as other famous stars to do the same.
