Monday, March 2nd was a typical day for middle Tennessee, but when the sun rose on Tuesday morning the destruction that happened overnight became visible. We are utterly heart broken with the victims of this incredible storm. Below we have compiled a few resources for those affected, as well as information on how to get involved with the city’s recovery efforts. The Olivia Team is proud to be apart of this community and truly believes we are #NashvilleStrong.
