Taylor Swift makes donation to Brad Paisley’s nonprofit The Store as group expands food access efforts

Taylor Swift donated to Brad Paisley’s nonprofit The Store, which works to fight food insecurity in Middle Tennessee

Taylor Swift has made a donation to The Store, the nonprofit grocery initiative founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, with the organization publicly thanking the singer for her support this week.

In a Facebook post shared Tuesday, Jan. 13, The Store said Swift had provided a “generous gift” that will help the nonprofit continue offering free groceries to families in Middle Tennessee. The donation comes as the organization prepares to open a second location.

“Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need,” the nonprofit wrote, adding that the contribution supports its mission of providing food with dignity and choice.

The Store also acknowledged Swift’s support on Instagram Stories, calling her generosity meaningful as the group continues its fight against food insecurity. Kimberly Williams-Paisley echoed that message in a separate post, writing that she and the organization appreciated Swift’s support.

Founded in 2020, The Store operates as a free grocery market designed to move beyond traditional food aid by allowing families to choose their own items while also accessing education and long-term support. The nonprofit focuses on addressing hunger across Middle Tennessee with an emphasis on respect and sustainability.

In addition to its grocery services, The Store transforms into a free toy shop during the holiday season, offering children the opportunity to select gifts for Christmas.

Swift has made multiple charitable contributions in recent months. In December, she donated to several national organizations, including Feeding America, the American Heart Association and MusiCares.

She has also recently supported children’s health initiatives and community programs in Nashville and Kansas City.
