Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly already have a company called The Store in Nashville to help those in need of food and assistance and now the couple has extended their service: first with the response to the Nashville tornados and now with the response to the coronavirus.

Brad took to his socials to share that the store's volunteers will be delivering food to the elderly in Nashville and beyond so they don't have to go out and get them for themselves.

Paisley posted to Instagram along with a video explaining, “So, in light of changing times, @thestore_nashville is mobilizing delivery of a week’s groceries to our elderly neighbors in Edgehill and Berry Hill on Wednesdays/Thursdays. If anyone needs to be included on this list, we urge them to contact info@thestore.org.

He added, "Also We will continue to operate regular hours 1-7 Th/F 11-5 Sat for walk-ins but please bring ID and either proof of income, proof of residence, or statement of unemployment for our recently unemployed neighbors. #nashvillestrong”
