The Store Seeks Community Participation For Third Annual School Store


The Store will host the Third Annual School Store in late July at the Coleman Park Community Center in Nashville. The initiative will collect new high-quality backpacks and stainless-steel water bottles throughout the month of July. Donations may be purchased from a wish list and shipped automatically to the store. This year, The Store expects to serve more than 800 children.

“We are thankful for the Nashville community that helps us provide much-needed support of our families facing food insecurity. Our customers also lack resources for important things like school supplies,” shares Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, co-founders of The Store. “Thanks to our generous donors, we love being able to offer this opportunity to gear up for a great school year ahead.”
