Metallica donates $35,000 to Tarrant Area Food Bank following concerts in Arlington
Metallica has donated $35,000 to the Tarrant Area Food Bank through its All Within My Hands foundation following two shows at AT&T Stadium on the band’s M72 tour, according to a news release from the food bank.
The shows took place this past Friday and Sunday.
The foundation also coordinated a service event with three Dallas-Fort Worth-based Metallica fan clubs who volunteered at the food bank’s distribution center in Fort Worth, according to the news release. The money is enough to feed thousands of families.
The food bank serves Tarrant and 12 other counties in North Texas.
“Food banks across the state are seeing increases in need due to inflation rising costs and we know this donation couldn’t have come at a greater time,” Tarrant Area Food Bank CEO Julie Butner said in the news release.
The Tarrant Area Food Bank accepts donations. Ways to get involved and information on how to get help are online at tafb.org.
