The #IDidMyPart initiative coincides with Mother’s Day, celebrated in the US this weekend (May 10). Through #IDidMyPart, Beyoncé and Tina Knowles will provide medical supplies in order to encourage African-Americans in Houston to get tested for coronavirus.
The mother-daughter pair will donate 1,000 test kits, surgical gloves, surgical masks and vitamins. Testing will occur on Friday May 8 and Saturday May 9 with 500 tests available on each day.
