Switchfoot will embark on their "Appetite for Construction" tour this month with Relient K.

The tour, which features a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity, will kick off Oct. 16 in Charleston, W.Va.

"For us this tour carries more meaning than simply a reunion of friends," stated the San Diego-based rock band. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Habitat for Humanity, and both bands are donating $1 from every ticket sold to this amazing organization committed to building homes for those in need here in the US and abroad. It is also a chance for us all to get plugged in to being a part of the solution in our own communities."

In June, Switchfoot headlined the sold-out "Rock the Boat" concertin support of Habitat for Humanity.

The show, sponsored by Evan Almighty, featured Relient K and Jeremy Camp and was an extension of Switchfoot's charitable work. The multi-platinum band had also previously held their third annual Bro-Am surf tournament to support charity organizations in their hometown of San Diego.
