Winter storms have been tough all across the country, with Texas especially taking a hard hit, and as someone who has let it be known how much he loves his home state, McConaughey was quick to act to help those in need. Their efforts have been in providing support for those lacking basic necessities trying to recover and rebuild. While power has been restored for most of the millions of residents who lost it, broken water lines and other damage have left many without access to food, clean water and other critical resources.
