#MetallicaGivesBack to Three Local Organizations in Charlotte
JUNE 2, 2025
Metallica’s stop in Charlotte allowed AWMH the opportunity to give back within that community. Once again, Metallica and AWMH have chosen local nonprofit organizations to receive grants to support the community M72 visits in the areas of food insecurity and critical local services. Receiving funds in Charlotte are Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, Hope Street Food Pantry, and Charlotte Family Housing.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina strives to eliminate hunger through education, advocacy, and partnerships by soliciting and distributing food in 24 counties across the Carolinas. Since 1981, SHMETROLINA has provided a regional distribution warehouse and branches that supply food and grocery items to charitable agencies that assist people in need. Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina is receiving $15,000.
Special thanks to our Metallica Family volunteers who donated their time for a shift at Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina where they helped pack over 31,000 meals for local residents facing food insecurity. Additional thanks to our longtime partners at Carhartt for keeping them cozy and stylish in these exclusive M72 x AWMH Brite Orange Knit Cuffed Beanies.

Hope Street Food Pantry exists to remove barriers to food access and ensure that no one in its community goes hungry. Founded in 2018 as a small pantry in a house, serving just four families, it has grown into a vital resource, providing fresh, nutritious food to thousands of individuals and families facing food insecurity. Through partnerships, volunteers, and generous donors, the organization continues to expand its reach because no one should have to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table. Hope Street Food Pantry is receiving $10,000.
Charlotte Family Housing empowers working families experiencing homelessness to achieve lifelong self-sufficiency through shelter, housing, supportive services, and advocacy. Not limited to conducting business as usual, CFH executes inventive and effective strategies to provide wraparound support and resources to its families. The organization pursues continuous process improvement, technology enhancements, and creative problem-solving. Charlotte Family Housing is receiving $15,000.
