Those We Serve

Every day of the year, we serve people referred to us by local churches or other social agencies in the Chattanooga area. The requests we fill are usually for food, household furnishings, medicine and medical supplies, transportation or clothing. Much of the help we provide is for new mothers, babies, children and seniors. Our job is to meet the specific needs of our neighbors who are in crisis.

Our welfare office is organized to accept requests from area churches or other social agencies in our area. We cannot accept individual requests for assistance from our Website.

If you are from a church or social service agency and wish to find out how to make a referral, use this link to email our welfare office.
