Singer-songwriter Lizzo is in the middle of her Australian tour, but she's not getting any rest in between shows.
On Tuesday, Foodbank Australia posted to Twitter and Facebook the star, who attended high school and college in Houston, is helping those impacted by the devastating bushfires.
"Beautiful Lizzo stopped by our Foodbank Victoria warehouse today to thank our hardworking team and vollies who have been working tirelessly for the past 6 days. What a ⭐️ she even packed hampers for fire-affected regions. Thank you for the support," the organization posted.
Lizzo had a show Monday at the Sydney Opera House with another one planned for Wednesday in Melbourne. The foodbank stop apparently happened in between those shows.

As the Associated Press reports, Australia's government said it is willing to pay "whatever it takes" to fight these fires in communities around the country. Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his government is committing the equivalent of $1.4 billion to fight the fires.
Additional sums have already been committed. Prime Minister Morrison said the Australian military has been trying to get food, water and much needed fuel to communities that have been burned out, as the Associated Press reported.
Some relief has come in the form of rain and cooler temperatures that came through after a rough weekend. Engineers are still reportedly working to reopen roads and help evacuation centers with much needed supplies. Teams are also helping to euthanize injured livestock and wild animals badly burned.
According to CBS NEWS, there are now some estimates that the fires have killed up to a billion animals. At least 25 people have died, and entire towns have been forced to evacuate.
