Metallica has made a $100,000 donation to Venezuela earthquake relief efforts.
The legendary metal band's All Within My Hands foundation granted the generous donation through its partner Direct Relief, per their website.
"Coordinating with agencies at the regional and local levels, Direct Relief is mobilizing emergency medical aid and supporting search-and-rescue operations," the statement read. "The organization is providing emergency funding to support the deployment of Bomberos Unidos Sin Fronteras, a Spain-based search-and-rescue organization, to assist with on-the-ground operations. At the same time, Direct Relief is preparing medical aid commonly needed after earthquakes, including first-aid supplies, hygiene items for displaced families, medicines used to treat acute injuries, and chronic disease medications for people whose access to routine care may be interrupted."
Earlier this week, the group made another donation, to Cardiff Foodbank, after performing at the Welsh city's Principality Stadium on June 28.
"We're thrilled to share that Metallica, who played in Cardiff last night, are donating to Cardiff foodbank," the organization wrote on Instagram. "This timely donation will help replenish our warehouse and could support around 1,000 people, the equivalent of 9,000 meals."
