To address a growing need, The Store is introducing The School Store, a new project aimed at providing school supplies for Middle Tennessee families. The initiative will collect new high-quality backpacks, stainless steel water bottles and one-inch 3-ring binders throughout July at collection sites including Let It Shine Gymnastics, The Getalong, Belmont Bookstore, and The Store. Additionally, Kroger Green Hills and Brentwood stores along with other pop-up locations throughout 12 South will collect donations from July 27-28. The Nashville community is invited to The Store to drop off supplies, enjoy games, live music, inflatables and snacks during the fundraiser’s family-friendly event on Saturday, July 27, from 1-3 p.m. CT.

The second annual Release The Hounds Music Festival will be held at The Hideaway Farm (formerly known as the Johnny Cash Farm) on Saturday, September 7 in Bon Aqua, Tenn. to raise much needed funds for animal welfare in rural Hickman County in conjunction with the Release The Hounds organization.

"It’s such a sad day saying so long to Charley Pride. I’m just so thankful that I got to sing a song with him. That’s where this picture was taken. It’s supposed to be on his next album. I also narrated his 'I’ll Be Me' documentary. I’m so thankful for that and my heart, my love, my soul... everything goes out to Rozene and the entire Pride family because we are the biggest fans of Charley. The world is lost today. He’s one of the greatest singers of all time. We love you Charley." -Tanya Tucker (click link for additional quotes)
