Love From Music City is hosting their 10th Annual event, “A Very Merry Music City Christmas,” which welcomes over 150 Sumner County Foster children.
Love From Music City is the exclusive Christmas provider for all Foster children in Sumner County. Each year the party takes on a new theme, this year’s theme is, “A Very Merry Music City Christmas” and is set to take place on Sunday, December 12th at 4 pm.
Live entertainment will include country music artists Shane Owens, JD Shelburne, plus carnival games and of course, Santa! Meals will be provided for the Foster children and their parents.
The entire second floor will be transformed into a huge toy store, thanks to the generous donation from local businesses who have allowed the organization to set up toy collection boxes inside their business. At the toy store each child, ages 0-18, will be able to choose five items of their choice. In addition, they will receive eleven essential items such as a new pillow, pillowcase, blanket, gloves, a coat, shoes, backpack, socks, toiletries, and a stuffed animal.
Located At:
Fire Place Fellowship Church
403 Walton Ferry Rd
Hendersonville, TN 37075

“We are so grateful to all the local businesses, individuals, and families who gave toys and of their time to make this celebration successful,” says CFO Shanda Tripp. “Instead of spending money on a Church Christmas Party, ten years ago we decided to throw a party to honor foster families making a difference in the lives of these children. For a foster care child, they’re literally probably the poorest in our midst because they don’t even have their parents.”

“A Very Merry Music City Christmas” is made possible through funds received throughout the year and the Love From Music City’s Annual Gala that was held on October 5, 2021. Special guests at the event included Pam Tillis, JD Shelburne, Buddy Jewell, Marty Raybon, Devon O’Day, Cherish Lee, Tim Atwood, Charlene Tilton, and Crystal Gayle who was the recipient of this year’s Bill Anderson Icon Award. The event raised over $35,000 in donations throughout the magical evening.
Additionally, you can drop off a NEW unwrapped toy at one of our Toy Collection locations throughout the community. You can find a list of all drop-off locations on our website.
According to the Tennessee Alliance for Kids, about 8,000 kids are in the state’s foster care system and less than 4,000 homes are available. To see how you can partner for the Christmas Celebration next year, contact www.lovefrommusiccity.org
