New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Actor/musician John Schneider and his wife Alicia are leading an effort to get much-needed aid and supplies to victims of the catastrophic floods that have devastated Middle Tennessee. They have made arrangements for an 18-wheeler to collect emergency supplies at three Tennessee locations: Dunlap (August 30),
Franklin (August 31) and Hendersonville (September 1). John will be present at each location to say hello to donors, and thank them for their contributions.
John and Alicia know something about flooding, as their Louisiana home and studio property were wiped out in 2016 by historic back-to-back floods. They rebuilt John Schneider Studios, but the masters for unfinished film projects and countless personal possessions and memorabilia spanning his entertainment career were lost forever.
"We can so relate to the trauma of the floods," says John. "We are working on a large effort to help our friends in Middle Tennessee."
