Heavy metal rockers Metallica made a hefty donation to the Tarrant Area Food Bank after playing two shows in Arlington over the weekend.
The Grammy Award-winning band was in North Texas for gigs at AT&T Stadium on Friday and Sunday and announced Monday they'd donated $35,000 to the food bank through their All Within My Hands foundation.
In a statement Monday, the food bank said generous gift will feed thousands of North Texas families this week. “We want to thank Metallica for this $35,000 gift, their on-going support of the Tarrant Area and for caring about people who may not know where their next meal will come, especially during these summer months across our 13-county service area” said Julie Butner, president & CEO of Tarrant Area Food Bank. “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.
The band's foundation also coordinated an afternoon of service through three of their DFW-based fan clubs who all volunteered at the food bank distribution center in Fort Worth.
