METALLICA DONATES $100,000 TO HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF EFFORTS

Metallica’s charity, All Within My Hands (AWMH), has donated $100,000 to aid relief efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.

The hur­ri­cane struck on Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 26, affect­ing com­mu­ni­ties across a 500-mile stretch in Flori­da, Geor­gia, South Car­oli­na, North Car­oli­na, and Ten­nessee. With over 215 con­firmed deaths and many still miss­ing, it has become the third-dead­liest storm in the U.S. this cen­tu­ry. Severe flood­ing and record water lev­els have left roads impass­able, slow­ing down res­cue efforts.

AWMH has con­tributed $50,000 each to two orga­ni­za­tions: World Cen­tral Kitchen (WCK) and Team Rubi­con. WCK is pro­vid­ing essen­tial food and clean water to hard-to-reach areas, uti­liz­ing heli­copters, air­boats, and part­ner­ships with food trucks and restau­rants to deliv­er thou­sands of hot meals. Mean­while, Team Rubi­con has deployed over 140 vol­un­teers, known as Greyshirts, who are clear­ing debris and aid­ing recov­ery in more than 35 com­mu­ni­ties across the affect­ed states. So far, they have removed debris equiv­a­lent to over 400 dump trucks.

Metallica’s con­tin­ued gen­eros­i­ty is a reminder of the pow­er of col­lec­tive action. Let’s con­tin­ue to sup­port recov­ery efforts.
