Sandra Bullock is flexing her star power to aid relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. 
 
 The A-list actress has pledged $1 million to help victims of the tropical storm that has devastated the Houston, Tex. area, E! News can confirm. Bullock's generous donation will benefit the American Red Cross in its ongoing effort to help those impacted by the catastrophic flooding and destruction along Texas' Gulf Coast. 
 
 "I'm just grateful I can do it," Bullock (who owns a home in Austin) said in a statement. "We have to take care of one another." 
 
 Bullock is the latest celebrity to pitch in with a generous financial contribution. Hours ago, Kim Kardashian and the rest of her famous family donated $500,000 to the Red Cross. Comedian Kevin Hart also launched his own Hurricane Harvey Relief Challenge, encouraging fellow stars to give $25,000 to assist Texas residents rendered homeless or without electricity amid the natural disaster. ||||| Not even Kevin Hart could have predicted this kind of response. 
 
 With a tropical storm continuing to devastate residents of Houston, Texas, the 38-year-old comedian launched the Hurricane Harvey Relief Challenge Monday to support relief efforts in the area. He donated $25,000 and asked Beyoncé, Dave Chappelle, Jay-Z, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Justin Timberlake to match his donation. "Keep your head up Houston and keep your faith," Hart wrote Tuesday. "I love you all and my prayers are with you!" 
 
 Proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross. 
 
 Due in part to Hart, other celebrities began to share their support publicly. 
 
 Kim Kardashian announced her family's generous pledge Tuesday: ||||| According to the Houston Chronicle, Gallery Furniture is opening its Houston I-45 North location (between Tidwell and Parker) and the location in the Richmond area off Grand Parkway as shelters for families seeking refuge from Tropical Storm Harvey.
