The Store operates as a year-round free grocery store allowing people to shop for their basic needs. There is no charge to those referred or to the people and agencies that send them. They may shop for food to supplement their income during times of crisis and as they work toward self-sufficiency.

The Store offers a variety of foods that will help individuals strive for healthier lives through food choices, as well as nutritional education and cooking classes. The Store does not, and shall not, discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation or military status, in any of its activities or operations.

First Responders Children's Foundation (FRCF) supports the children and families of first responder heroes who risk their lives every day in service to our communities. The Foundation was established in the aftermath of 9/11 when over 800 children lost a first responder parent in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. More than two decades later, they continue to provide financial support to children who have lost a first responder parent in the line of duty, as well as families enduring significant financial hardship due to tragic circumstances.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, FRCF launched the COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund that impacted 530,000 children and 232,000 first responder families, including nurses, medical personnel and support staff in the Foundations response. 

When a first responder is killed or injured in the line of duty, FRCF ensures that their children and families receive the support they need, including financial and bereavement assistance, scholarship funding, mental health services and more.

Funds from UMG Nashville’s previous holiday programs impacted the lives of dozens of First Responder’s families, through the FRCF Scholarship Program (which provides college scholarships to the children of first responder heroes who lost their lives) and the FRCF Mental and Behavioral Health Program (which provides funding in response to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder occurring at alarming rates amongst first responders and sadly, their children). This year’s UMG Music 4 Good Holiday Giveback will once again be allocating funds raised to these two core FRCF programs.

First Responders Children's Foundation helps the helpers. Please, join them.
