After performing in Toronto, Metallica donated $40,000 to Daily Bread Food Bank as part of their philanthropic efforts. This contribution aims to address the rising food insecurity in the city, which has become critical as over one in ten residents now depend on food banks. Mayor Olivia Chow previously declared food insecurity an emergency situation. The donation may allow food banks to provide around 40,000 meals, with the CEO of Daily Bread noting that many in Toronto are struggling amid a hunger crisis.
"Learning that there is widespread food insecurity in Toronto reminds us just how many people are faced with making tough decisions and need assistance," said Renee Richardson, the foundation's director.
"Right now, far too many are struggling, and these funds will help support food bank clients as the hunger crisis in our city reaches an all-time high," said Neil Hetherington, CEO of Daily Bread.
