The People We Serve

We help needy families and individuals in Chattanooga and its surrounding communities in southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia. The requests we fill most often are for groceries, household furnishings, medicines and medical supplies, transportation and clothing. Much of the help we provide is for new mothers, babies, children and seniors. Our job is to meet the specific needs of neighbors who cannot find help elsewhere.
Our Ministry Director directs our work and accepts individual requests for assistance as well as requests from churches and other social service agencies in our area.

We are sorry that we cannot accept individual requests for assistance from our Website alone. Contact by phone or in person is required in order for a request to be considered. · If you would like to set up an appointment with our Ministry Director, use this link to send an email.

If you are from a church or social service agency and wish to find out how to refer a member/client to us, use this link to send us an email.
