Miranda Lambert Raises Money For Nashville Animals Tornado Relief
Miranda Lambert and her Muttnation Foundation began a fundraiser after the deadly tornadoes that swept through the Nashville area and Middle Tennessee in early March, killing at least 24 people.
MuttNation Foundation joined with Tractor Supply Co. and Generous, a Nashville-based online giving platform, to match donations from nearly 1,000 people, eventually surpassing the original goal of $75,000.
Lambert said via a press release, “We knew people needed to come first, but MuttNation is here because we have to watch over the animals, too. My heart is filled with both sadness for everyone who suffered — and with gratitude for everyone who has stepped up.”
MuttNation has allocated one hundred percent of the funds it received via the donations to Agape Animal Rescue, Crossroads Campus, Friends of MACC, Nashville Humane Association, the Pet Community Center, Putnam County Humane, the Putnam Disaster Animal Relief Team (DART) and the Wilson County DART. All of those shelters and organizations were either damaged by the tornadoes or in need of assistance afterward.
