Bethenny Frankel sending aid to Texas

Bethenny Frankel is springing into action to help Texas as the state battles power and heat outages after a brutal ice storm.

We’re told the former “Real Housewives of New York” star’s B Strong initiative and Michael Capponi’s Global Empowerment Mission are loading up trucks filled with relief kits for 1,400 families.

The kits, which support a family of five, contain a month’s supply of non-perishable foods, hygiene products, and personal protective gear.

The first three trucks, provided by NCS Group, are set to reach the Lone Star state as soon as Tuesday. The kits are valued at $132, and each truck holds $184,000 worth of goods.

Frankel has asked for donations on Twitter, explaining “the aid distributed is from our warehouse that constantly depletes & refill[s] during a crisis. [Money] is to be distributed to people in need to survive & rebuild.”

She said 100 percent of the money raised goes toward the effort.

We’re told the 60,000-square-foot warehouse is filled year-round and stocked with items like lumber, water, generators, pet food, and diapers.

Frankel first started her aid efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in Houston in 2017.
