Brad Paisley, actress and author Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Nationwide hosted another successful “Groceries with Dignity & Comedy Without” comedy benefit for The Store April 13 at Zanies Nashville.
This year’s “Groceries with Dignity & Comedy Without” featured comedians Kevin Nealon, Henry Cho and Aaron Webber and took place during Nashville’s Comedy Festival. The evening also featured a cameo appearance by Lelan Statom, weather anchor for WTVF in Nashville, who participated in the performance of a song Brad wrote about the city’s recent tornado outbreaks and cell phone alerts.
For the third consecutive year the benefit show sold out, and in three years the event, has raised more than $500,000 dollars for The Store, the free-referral based grocery store founded by the Paisleys that aims to empower low-income individuals and families in the Nashville area. The Store operates with the mission of allowing people to shop for their basic needs in a way that protects dignity and fosters hope.
