Metallica is using their platform to give back to communities within Los Angeles that have been affected by the catastrophic fires across the city.

The band’s philanthropic foundation, All Within My Hands, is granting $500,000 to relief efforts carried out by the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund and the Pasadena Community Foundation’s Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund, per a press release. The foundation “dedicates itself to creating sustainable communities by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services,” says its website.

The devastating fires started last week in the Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles, and by Altadena in the east. Other areas, including Studio City and Runyon Canyon, also had fires — though they have since been contained and put out.
