Paisley posted the following statement to Facebook as the caption to the video below.

“When we launched The Store, our long term goal was to do a Christmas Toy Store for kids and parents to have the same experience of shopping with dignity and choice, but in an extra-fun way. Seeing it happen was magical. The look on the faces of these kids was worth every bit of effort. Thanks to all who helped make this happen. Hopefully just the start!”

While collecting toy donations this holiday season, the 51-year-old is also currently gearing up for the release of his next album. Paisley said of the album, due out in early 2024, in a statement, “doesn’t shy away from reflecting real life and real situations going on in America and in our world today. This is what I think country music is about, which is truth.”

In September, he unveiled a collection of songs titled Sons of the Mountains: The First Four Tracks, which includes “Same Here” featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “So Many Summers,” “Son Of The Mountains,” and “The Medicine Will.”

Paisley will hit the road in 2024 for his headlining ‘Son Of The Mountains’ World Tour, which is scheduled to kick off in Europe in February. Click here for tour dates and additional information.
