Dierks Bentley, Al Roker Lend a Hand to Nashville
Nashville, here's the good news in your neck of the woods. Weatherman Al Roker, of NBC's Today show, gave the charity Hands On Nashville a much-needed boost for their flood relief efforts yesterday (June 24). His Lend A Hand charitable project donated thousands of dollars worth of things like carpet, mattresses, paint, furniture and clothing needed to rebuild the roughly 11,000 homes that were affected by the devastating floods in May. Dierks Bentley was also in the Bellevue neighborhood for the presentation (and a quick acoustic performance of "Love Goes Wild" with fiddler Jason Carter and Jon Randall on mandolin) after the donations were revealed. Hands On Nashville dispersed more than 17,000 volunteers right after the flood in early May and with this donation, their hands will keep rebuilding even more homes.
