===Philanthropy=== Hill used her 1999 tour to support a national children's book drive, The Faith Hill Family Literacy Project. The charity was inspired by Faith's father, who faced challenges with literacy. Fans who donated books at one of her concerts were entered into a drawing to meet her personally after the show.<ref name="book"> {{cite news| title = Hill Performs By the Book| work = Country Music Television| date = March 26, 1999| url = http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1474935/hill-performs-by-the-book.jhtml| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140222145257/http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1474935/hill-performs-by-the-book.jhtml| url-status = dead| archive-date = February 22, 2014| access-date = April 23, 2007}}</ref> The effort resulted in the donation of 35,000 children's books, which were distributed to hospitals, schools, libraries, and daycare centers in 40 cities across the United States.<ref name="bookrecap">{{cite news| title = A Bit of "Faith" Brought in a Lot of Books| work = Country Music Television| date = August 20, 1999| url = http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1476737/a-bit-of-faith-brought-in-a-lot-of-books.jhtml| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140222145305/http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1476737/a-bit-of-faith-brought-in-a-lot-of-books.jhtml| url-status = dead| archive-date = February 22, 2014| access-date = April 23, 2007}}</ref> In the days immediately following [[Hurricane Katrina]], Hill and her husband, [[Tim McGraw]], who was raised in [[Louisiana]], joined groups taking supplies to [[Gulfport, Mississippi]].
