A year-round free grocery store for those in need that is being envisioned for Nashville, Tennessee, is connected to country singer Brad Paisley.Dubbed The Store, it’s being spearheaded by Paisley; his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley; and his alma mater, Belmont University; to help people get free groceries.“There is no charge to those referred or to the people and agencies that send them,�� the outreach’s website says.The outreach comes after the couple took their children to the Unity Shoppe in Santa Barbara, California, a service where people who have been referred there can shop at no cost for food and clothes.According to Paisley, they were surprised by what the organization taught them: Most people don’t want handouts. They want dignity and respect and to become self-sufficient.“It’s not like they’ve made major mistakes. They just need a little extra help, and we want to be a resource for those people,�� Kimberly Williams-Paisley told The Tennessean.People would be able to participate for a one-year period. The Store is seeking to serve at least 3,000 people a year.The nonprofit service is seeking to raise money through donations, according to the outreach’s website.
