And then, when the pandemic hit, he and his wife hit the road helping to supply and deliver thousands of facemasks for healthcare workers and first responders to Texas communities, including El Paso. So, it’s no surprise that the possible future gubernatorial candidate has now put this all-star We’re Texas Benefit Concert together.

In the weeks since the historic storm, McConaughey started a fund through his nonprofit, the Just Keep Livin Foundation, to direct money and aid to communities throughout the state. The arctic cold snap left thousands of Texans without heat, water, electricity, and broken water lines. Even though most of the state has thawed, many Texans are still struggling daily without access to clean water, food, and other necessities.
