“We are also excited for our Rock the Red Kettle event at the Nashville Predators this evening. Usually, this annual event raises funds for our year-round programs, but tonight, all funds raised in person and online will be put towards our immediate response here in Middle Tennessee and, looking ahead, to long-term recovery assistance that will be needed over the upcoming months by survivors,” Captain Canning continued.

Breakfast and Mid-Day Meal Service is planned in the following areas:

Madison – 2 Units:
One will be stationary at the corner of Nesbit and Heritage Place. The second will be roaming in the areas hit hard by the storm.

Hendersonville – 1 Unit:
Meal Service will happen in the Clearview Circle and Hunters Trail Area and then unit will roam other areas struck by the storm.
