LEBANON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Genesco Inc. has donated 25,000 square-feet of its Journey's distribution center to help Tennessee Emergency Management Agency with its response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The distribution facility in Lebanon will help TEMA temporarily store supplies.

"One of our core values is ‘Journeys is a family with an attitude that cares,’” said Mario Gallione, president of Journeys. “Our community has been hit hard over the past month, first with tornadoes and now with COVID-19. We didn’t think twice when TEMA approached us for space. We had the capacity and it is what we do, helping others, especially during this unprecedented global event."

Genesco Inc. is a Nashville-based retailer that sells footwear and accessories under the Journeys, Journeys Kidz, Little Burgundy, Schuh, Schuh Kids and Johnston & Murphy brands.
