Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas have had a rough month. In late September, the states were hit by Hurricane Helen, and a few weeks later Florida was hit again by Hurricane Milton (and its associated tornadoes). The two hurricanes killed nearly 300 people, totaled more than $70 billion in damage, and led to a long road to recovery.
Metallica is providing relief through their All Within My Hands Fund, donating $50,000 each to both Feeding America and the Information Technology Disaster Resource Center (ITDRC).
Why those two charities? Metallica “The series of hurricanes has strained food bank operations, and our partners at Feeding America need our support.
