The Texas native is opening up a coffee and comic book cafe in Houston called Coral Sword. The opening will be delayed because of Hurricane Harvey.

Pence's teammate Brandon Belt is also pitching in -- he's from the Houston area and tweeted:

He responded to a call for baseball players nationwide to send extra shoes and shirts to those suffering after Hurricane Harvey.

A Bay Area non-profit that raises diaper donations is also joining relief efforts.

Help A Mother Out is sending pallets of diapers to Texas.

Diapers are not supplied by disaster relief agencies, even though they're essential to babies.
