Country star Brad Paisley and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley break ground on a free grocery store that will support needy families in Nashville.

Country music star Brad Paisley operates a backhoe as he breaks ground for The Store, a free grocery store for people in need, Wednesday, April 3, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn.

Paisley donned a cowboy hat-shaped construction helmet for part of Wednesday’s groundbreaking ceremony for The Store, which is a partnership with his alma mater Belmont University. “Hunger and food insecurity is a real issue in Nashville,” said Williams-Paisley. “One in seven people deal with food insecurity. That means they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. And it’s even worse for kids, one in five children.”

“We really want to get people before this is a major crisis,” Williams-Paisley said. “We want to help people in this gap where they are trying to get back on their feet.”

God bless you and Kimberly! 🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

jakeowen take note 👆.. A country singer who's not a complete prick!.. BradPaisley 👍 doinggodswork goodchristian

Help me with the math...if 1 in 7 people deal w/ hunger in Nashville & the population = 691,243 people...how's feeding 3,000 people for the year based off a population this size going to help? Off the stats they gave, they would need to feed almost 99K people. 3K isn't close.

RevJJackson This is cool and what we need to be doing in every city so that family's that cant afford to buy food can still get it. Respect

Outstanding 🌟

I wildly appreciate his effort. But how about the next one opening in southern West Virginia? The State and University have been good to you. Step up.

I love it when, people do real things for real people... this is amazing x

Paying it forward: That's so wonderful: God bless you both!! 🙌🙌🙌

Good work grocery food Nashville

Liberal community wanting free stuff. Checks out.

BradPaisley & Kimwilliamspais are doing great things for their community. I wish more people of means would follow suit! Thank you very much for your generosity! 💟✌MakingADifference

Way to give back😀 Wish all other MILLIONAIRES would understand without us (hourly and monthly) folks they might not be the MILLIONAIREs they are

Such a cutie and a kind heart ❤️ 😸❤️

Why can't more rich people do this?

Go Brad!!! Go!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Wow ! He must be related to realDonaldTrump !!! Taking care of the needy .... 😂😂😂😂

. The real question is In the richest country in the world why do we have needy families Oh because the GOP thinks providing a livable income is Socialism Corporations run by Wall Street hedge funds Corporatocracy of lack regulations and tax cuts deserve the real Socialism

When you say break ground, by golly, Brad Paisley is at the helm.

So poor people who don't work continue to get shit I have to work and pay for.

and how long will that last?

More like this. Thank you.

Great idea , Chicago could use your help.

WV born & raised, WV proud and WV hospitality in his blood. Thank you BradPaisley

Couldn't even find a picture of him smiling... Thinking 'This is a dumb waste of money', the whole time.

Sounds like a great idea, but am I the only one who missed the part on how the items will be free?

I applaud the effort but this never works unfortunately. Just look at the recent collapse of paneras pay what you want program. Crash and burn because people just take and give nothing.

Suggest they contact Farmers & Supermarkets to hand them over the “ugly vegetables” which paying customers don’t buy but that are just as good as the “pretty ones”

Will they be handing out bootstraps?

Brad Paisley workin' a backhoe. Look at his right hand. He knows this machine.

That’s awesome

I really really hope that all turns out well, however cautionary I may be history says no.

Wow! i now love country music.

I praise what they are trying to do, but isn't that just a food bank?

I'm not keen on his dislike of my 'people'... but this cannot be ignored. This is true goodness.

Wow. This is love, compassion and respect for fellow Americans in need. Good people. BradPaisley Kimwilliamspais

Remember when billionaire philanthropist Donald trump did something like this? No? That's because it never happened, he used money from his foundation to pay $5 in dues for jr's Boy Scout troup.

Imagine if hollywood had values like those in the south?

Awesome!

He is the greatest, he keeps paying forward!

True Christianity. Actions not words .

What a wonderful thing to do for the community.

Goddamn socialists

GOD BLESS

I applaud their efforts. However I believe the use of the adjective “needy” should be revisited. There has to be a more dignified way to write this.

Sounds like socialism to me
