The Store, which is in the final stages of a capital campaign to support the building’s construction, is scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2020. The Store will operate as a free-referral based grocery store, allowing people in need to shop with dignity for their basic needs. It aims to empower individuals seeking self-sufficiency. Funds raised from the Celebrity Dodgeball Tournament will be applied to The Store’s annual operating budget.

Located at 2009 12th Ave. South next to Belmont University’s Ministry Center, The Store will also partner with Belmont students and faculty to provide local, low income families support through nutritional and pharmacy education, health screenings, legal aid clinics, mental health counseling and music therapy.
