Metallica are raising funds for their All Within My Hands foundation’s Feeding America and Direct Relief throughout the month of May

Metallica kicked off their Month of Giving charity initiative last year in conjunction with their All Within My Hands foundation, to help raise funds for charity. Now, the guys are resurrecting the initiative for a new run.

During the month of May, the metal greats will raise funds to benefit All Within My Hands’ Feeding America and Direct Relief.

“Your generosity will help combat food insecurity on a national level in the US, as well as improve quality of life for people confronting enormous hardship while recovering from disasters worldwide,” Metallica said in a collective statement.

Metallica will be offering a 2021 Month of Giving T-shirt and poster to help raise money for the cause. The band will also offer a special, commemorative black ESP LTD guitar autographed by each of the four band members via an auction.
