Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley have announced exciting news to their community.
Brad, 51, posted a video on Instagram in which Kimberly, 52, and the country singer shared the exciting news about the upcoming opening of a second The Store in Nashville, during the organization’s launch event.
According to the brand’s Instagram account, The Store is a “community that empowers individuals and families seeking self-sufficiency by providing them with a dignified shopping experience.”
During her emotional speech, Kimberly explained, “We now serve over a thousand people a year at our initial location, and our goal with this store is really for people to be able to shop with dignity and we can help them get back on their feet so they don’t need us.”
She continued: “This is not meant to be a long-term solution. It’s about investing in the community, and then people can turn around and volunteer at the store. We’re going to need a lot of volunteers.”
