On Hand In Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief, Blake Shelton and Usher offered Hurricane Harvey and Irma victims a shoulder to lean on September 12, 2017. They teamed up during the nationwide telethon fundraiser to perform Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me." Usher started the song off, receiving cheers as he revealed the iconic track. With Shelton on acoustic guitar, the two then traded verses and shared the choruses, leading the Grand Ole Opry Nashville audience in singing the refrain together. Usher and Shelton formerly competed against each other as opposing team advisors on season 6 of The Voice.

Massive disasters like Hurricane Harvey create more needs than any one organization can meet on their own. The Red Cross is working very closely with the entire response community – government agencies, other non-profit groups, faith-based organizations, area businesses and others – to coordinate emergency relief efforts and get help to people as quickly as possible. As more streets and highways clear, the Red Cross will distribute food and relief supplies when and where it is safe to do so. And after the emergency relief part of our work is complete, we will use any remaining donations for Hurricane Harvey to meet the longer-term needs of the affected communities. The Red Cross honors donor intent and all donations earmarked for Hurricane Harvey will be used for our work to support this disaster.
