For more than two decades, Brad and Kimberly Paisley have lived by a simple but powerful lesson: real help means giving dignity, not pity. Together with their kids, they put that value into action in Nashville by opening The Store.
Unlike traditional food banks, The Store lets families in need shop as if at a regular grocery store—choosing their own food, feeling respected, and treated with care. But it doesn’t stop there. They also provide legal aid, counseling, and even music therapy, reminding us that every part of a person’s life deserves support.
Brad and Kimberly’s vision has created more than shelves of food—it has built a sanctuary of hope. Their work proves that kindness can ripple outward, showing their children and the world that compassion rooted in dignity can change lives forever.
