Country star Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund has provided more than $350,000 to support over 20 animal shelters and organisations across Texas, New Mexico and New Jersey following devastating floods earlier this month.
Lambert, whose home state of Texas was among the hardest hit, said she was deeply moved by the tragedy. “Texas is my home state and the tragedy that took so many lives – and forever changed so many others – left me without words to express my heartbreak. All I knew was that I wanted to help,” she said. “I’m grateful that our Fund could quickly jump into action. We started it so we could immediately respond to the needs of animal shelters and rescues after a natural disaster, and it’s always incredible to see it in action during times like this.”
After Texas, floods also struck New Mexico and New Jersey, where the fund provided immediate aid to local shelters struggling with the aftermath. Tractor Supply’s Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Kimberley Gardiner called the donations a lifeline, saying they were more than financial support: “They’re a lifeline to animals and the people working tirelessly to care for them.”
Beyond direct relief, Lambert is leading fundraising efforts for Texas recovery with a benefit concert alongside fellow Texan Parker McCollum on August 17 at the Moody Center in Austin. The concert will feature Cody Johnson, Kelly Clarkson, Lyle Lovett, Ronnie Dunn, Matthew McConaughey and others, with proceeds going to The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas Community Foundation.
Founded in 2023, the MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund has raised more than $1.6 million and allocated over $1.1 million for disaster relief, supporting animals and shelters after floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters.
