Dave Grohl Volunteers on His Birthday to Feed Victims

Dave Grohl celebrated his 56th birthday by giving back to families affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that have ripped through the city over the past week. 

The Foo Fighters frontman was seen on Tuesday stirring a large batch of chili among other volunteers at Feed the Streets, a local nonprofit. The organization noted on its Instagram stories they would be distributing the meals to displaced families and inmate firefighters battling the still-burning flames. 

Grohl, who lives in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino, has long been involved in philanthropic and charity missions, previously volunteering with Feed the Streets and other organizations. 

The singer is part of the wider music community who have pulled together since the wildfires erupted on Jan. 7, killing at least 25 people and damaging more than 12,000 homes and buildings. 

In the coming weeks, a host of benefit concerts have been organized in California and elsewhere to raise money for people displaced by the fires. Artists have also donated to local funds, including Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus. 

The fires have claimed the beloved homes of numerous celebrities, such as Mandy Moore and Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, Billy Crystal, Jhené Aiko, and Jeff Bridges.
