“On behalf of the entire Nashville Sounds organization, I would like to say thank you. The outpouring of support our front office staff has received from hundreds of individuals and businesses wanting and willing to help has been tremendous,” said Sounds General Manager Adam Nuse. “We ask for continued support to help those in desperate need during this trying time.”
Similar to today, the Sounds encourage any businesses or individuals to donate the following needed items to distribute: water, Gatorade, individually packaged snacks, toiletries, flashlights, batteries, moving boxes, trash bags, grocery bags, feminine products, baby food, diapers and baby wipes, adult diapers, work gloves, paper towels, toilet paper, blankets and towels.
