Chattanooga Area Food Bank

The Impact You’ll Make:

In 2017, the Chattanooga Area Food Bank distributed 12.6 million meals to children, families, and seniors in the 20 counties they serve. Yet, 1 in 5 children and 1 in 8 adults in Chattanooga area communities remain food insecure, meaning they don’t have consistent access to food, enough food, or enough nutritious food. As a Feeding America member, the food bank can leverage $1 to supply 4 meals, and 97 cents of every dollar donated goes directly toward food and programs.

Hosanna Community

The Impact You’ll Make:

Blind since birth, Susan lived with a foster family for over 40 years. When that arrangement was no longer an option, she had few choices that would allow her a good quality of life. In 1998, she came to live at Hosanna, where she has her own room, attends church weekly, volunteers twice a week, and enjoys attending local musical events. Similar to most of our residents, Susan is on a fixed income. Donations allow our residents to receive financial aid and enjoy a modest rent due to substantial monthly subsidizing of Hosanna’s operating costs. Learn more
