Reba McEntire is making sure plenty of families will be well fed in her native state of Oklahoma as the year draws to a close. The country icon learned of a food bank located in the town of Kiowa, where she attended school as a child, and wasted no time in donating a large sum of money to support the worthwhile cause.

While the ‘Somebody’s Chelsea’ singer refused to disclose the amount, a spokesperson for the food bank said it was a substantial gift — enough to provide 200,000 meals, or feed more than 2,300 families for one week.

“We are thankful for this generous donation from Reba McEntire,” executive director of the Regional Food Bank Rodney Bivens, shares (quote via News OK). “No child should ever have to go to bed with the pains of hunger in their stomach.”

The 56-year-old songbird is well-known for her charitable giving. She co-hosted a tornado relief concert in Oklahoma earlier this year with Blake Shelton, and also donated $100,000 to the Red Cross (where she serves on the National Celebrity Cabinet), following Nashville’s deadly floods last year. Reba says she is always eager to help when she can.

“To know that you can lend a hand and make someone’s life a little better, brings you back up to realize why you are on this earth in the first place,” she shares. “And that’s to learn how you can grow as a better person by giving and loving.”

Reba will spend several weeks at home before she heads overseas for a series of shows in England, Ireland, Switzerland and Germany. See her concert schedule here.

CMT and CMT.com will host the exclusive world premiere of Reba’s new video “Somebody’s Chelsea” on Monday, September 26 at 8 a.m. ET/PT. Kicking off with a 15-minute special CMT PREMIERES: REBA – “SOMEBODY’S CHELSEA,” fans can see behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot, which was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Trey Fanjoy. Reba helped create the video concept with Fanjoy, which showcases a storybook love affair told through a chance encounter on an airplane. “Somebody’s Chelsea” is from Reba’s new Valory Music Co. album, All The Women I Am.

“Somebody’s Chelsea” was co-written by Reba, Liz Hengber and Will Robinson. The inspiration for the song came from a line of dialogue in the film P. S. I Love You, in which Harry Connick Jr’s character tells Hilary Swank, “I’m going to go find somebody because one of these days, I want to be somebody’s Frank.”

“I gasped and I got on the computer and emailed Liz saying, ‘This is a great idea for a song!’” said Reba. “So she got Will to help us with it and we wrote ‘Somebody’s Chelsea.’”

“Somebody’s Chelsea” will premiere across CMT’s multiple properties including CMT, CMT.com, CMT Pure, CMT Top 20 Countdown, and CMT’s social media platforms. The video will also debut on Palladia, MTV Networks’ high-definition music channel. CMT is the only country music network in the unique position to deliver world premiere exclusives to fans on demand, on multiple platforms.

CMT PREMIERES: REBA – “SOMEBODY’S CHELSEA” will be retelecast on Monday, September 26 at 10:45 a.m. ET/PT and on Tuesday, September 27 at 9:00 a.m. ET/PT.

To say that Reba McEntire has a lot on her plate would be a major understatement. In this exclusive cover story, Reba talks about her variety of activities, including her All the Women I Am Tour, new single and her apparel line. Reba explains that the new tour will be staged more intimately so she’ll “be able to connect more with the fans.” Reba also focuses on family, noting that her dad, Clark, is “getting along just fine” after suffering a stroke earlier in the year, and praising son Shelby for his success as a race car driver on the Grand-Am circuit.

I will try to have this for y’all when I pick up my copy!

ABC has purchased Malibu Country, a multi-camera comedy starring Reba McEntire, as a put pilot from ABC Studios. The country-western legend will executive produce, while also playing a woman whose rock-star husband cheats on her and leaves her broke. She divorces him and moves her three children from Nashville to Malibu, where she attempts to resurrect her own singing career. Kevin Abbott, who produced Reba for The CW, is attached to write.
