Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt raised an astonishing $17 million and a mass of supplies for flood victims after Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Houston. Now, he's ready to distribute what he's collected.

Watt shared images and videos on his Twitter account of a warehouse stocked with supplies. He and several teammates will spend the last Sunday before the beginning of the regular season providing supplies to Houston residents with the use of nine semi-trucks.

Watt added later that not a single dollar of the $17 million raised has been spent yet, and the food, water, clothes, and cleaning supplies in the warehouse were all donated items.

"This is what it looks like when volunteers come together," Watt said in his video. "Just want to make sure you guys see what's going on and make sure you know that this stuff is going directly to the people of Houston.

"Houston, we've got your back."
