Singer-songwriter Jack Johnson has offered a great sum of money to help with the relief and recovery efforts of the recent Hurricane Sandy.

The star made significant contributions to the Food Bank for New York City, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Save the Children, Waves for Water, GlobalGiving and Direct Relief International, and has also shipped 3,000 sweatshirts and thermal shirts to Waves for Water.

He's not the only musician to have pledged to help with the devastation as earlier this week, pop sensation Lady Gaga donated $1m to the American Red Cross, citing her love for the city of New York as her reason for wanting to help:

"If it wasn't for NYC: the Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today."
