Hard rock band to donate a portion of upcoming tour in observance of Youth Homeless Awareness Month
Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP) is proud to lend its support and platform to Covenant House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk youth. In an effort to make a meaningful impact in the lives of survivors of human trafficking and youth homelessness, FFDP is committing to donating a portion of its upcoming tour ticket revenue to support Covenant House’s programs to house, feed, educate, provide job assistance, mental health services, and healthcare to homeless youth across the Americas.
Starting in November, the band will be supporting Covenant House’s Youth Homelessness Awareness Month campaign by posting important facts and links to resources about the issues facing the survivors of human trafficking and youth homelessness.
With 34 locations across the Americas, Covenant House is a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide shelter, support, and comprehensive services to youth facing homelessness. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, Five Finger Death Punch is leveraging its platform to encourage its fans to learn about the issue, seek support, share resources with friends in need, get involved, and make a difference.
Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody, who is no stranger to lending a helping hand in these issues and has recently opened an intensive outpatient facility focusing on treating addiction and mental health disorders, has expressed his enthusiasm to take an even further step in assisting with the problem.
“Many of our songs and music videos speak directly to the issues being addressed by Covenant House. Our commitment to donating to support their programs and using our platform to raise awareness perfectly aligns with the band’s and our fans’ values,” Moody shares.
Fans of the band are being encouraged to visit Covenant House’s website.
“We are so grateful to the band and their entire team for their support of young people served by Covenant House,” adds Covenant House President & CEO Bill Bedrossian. “It is clear that youth homelessness and its connections to foster care and human trafficking are deeply personal to the band. By using their voice to raise awareness about these critical issues, to their vast audience, so many will benefit from knowing there is a community of support, partnering with Covenant House to address the needs of young people experiencing homelessness in the Americas.”
Five Finger Death Punch is a multi-platinum, chart-topping hard rock band known for their high-energy performances, and impactful music with over nine billion streams and have held firmly to a top 3 position on the Billboard Hard Rock charts for the last five years.

FFDP has earned numerous national and international awards and honors, such as the prestigious Soldier Appreciation Award by the Association of The United States Army, an honor bestowed only upon Elvis Presley before.
