Even amid a sold-out world tour, Taylor Swift still finds time to give back.

According to the Edinburgh Food Project, the Grammy-winning pop superstar, 34, generously donated to the food bank during the weekend of her three record-breaking Eras Tour shows in the Scottish capital, which kicked off on June 7.

“As fans gathered at Murrayfield on Friday for the first of three record-breaking gigs, Edinburgh Food Project found out that Taylor Swift would be making a donation to support foodbanks across the city 🪩,” the food bank charity announced on Instagram on Monday. “Taylor’s visit will live in Edinburgh’s memories for years to come, and this gift will mean people in crisis will also feel the long-lasting impact.”

The charity also thanked Swift for her donation on X (formerly Twitter) and shared a link where others can donate as well.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Edinburgh Food Project director Bethany Biggar echoed the food bank’s excitement over Swift’s gift, saying, “We are thrilled that Taylor has decided to support the foodbanks and leave a lasting impact on Edinburgh. Things are really tough for a lot of people right now, so it is lovely to see someone like Taylor spreading such positivity.”

Following news of Swift’s “lovely” donation, the food bank tells PEOPLE they’ve received several others from Edinburgh Swifties as well as fans from other places in the U.K. and abroad. Donations will go toward operations for the Edinburgh Food Project’s seven foodbanks across the city and to helping the “6,000+ people in crisis that we support every year.”
