THE ROOF IS FUNDED! And Our Hearts Are Full!

What began as a $262,000 challenge has become an incredible testimony to generosity, partnership, and a community that believes in the work happening at CRC Chattooga.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that the Frank P. Pierce Foundation has generously presented CRC Chattooga with a gift of $130,000!

This remarkable gift unlocked the full $130,000 matching grant from Atrium Health Floyd. Together with additional gifts from our community, we have now raised the funds needed to replace our roof!

But this has never been just about a roof.

Under this roof, families find food when their cupboards are empty. Individuals find encouragement when life feels overwhelming. Neighbors find connections to resources, opportunities, and people who believe in them.

We are deeply grateful to the Frank P. Pierce Foundation and Atrium Health Floyd for recognizing the importance of this work and investing in its future. Their generosity will have an impact far beyond the walls of this building.

This is a milestone worth celebrating, but it is not the end of the story.

As we continue strengthening the foundation of CRC Chattooga for the years ahead, there is still important work to be done. Today, though, we simply want to say THANK YOU.

To these foundations, to every individual, church, business, and friend who helped us reach this goal: Thank you for helping us protect what happens under this roof.

The roof is funded. The mission continues. And the future is full of hope.

As the day comes to a close, I find myself looking back with a grateful heart.
Today at CRC Chattooga, we served 101 families.
One of the moments I’ll carry with me is seeing a young man who has come here many times with his mom show up today to volunteer and help serve others.
That’s the kind of thing that reminds me this work is about so much more than food. It’s about community. It’s about dignity. It’s about people being cared for — and then turning around and caring for others.
Some days leave you tired.
Some days leave you thankful.
Today was both.

What a wonderful morning with some of our local pastors!

One of my favorite parts of our Pastors Breakfast was hearing stories about the “Good Neighbors” who encouraged and helped these pastors as they began their ministries.

That’s the kind of neighbor CRC Chattooga wants to be, too—sharing resources, making connections, and bringing people together. This morning, that included sharing some extra donations with our local churches and having Pamela Vaughn share about CERT and Logan's list.

Who has been a “Good Neighbor” in your life?

Think about the person who showed up, encouraged you, or helped you keep going when you needed it. Tag them below and let them know what their kindness meant to you.

And then, let’s go be that Good Neighbor for someone else.

So excited to be at an event surrounded by good doers learning how to good better!!! My take away: the best part about volunteering with our organization and in between all of these other great organizations is belonging! What a great opportunity!

HUNGER ACTION MONTH | Recognizing Those Who Help Us Fight Hunger

Today we’re recognizing Atrium Health Floyd Polk Foundation for investing not only in meeting immediate needs, but in helping people move toward greater stability.

Their support helped fund our Getting Ahead class, allowing CRC Chattooga to walk alongside participants as they worked toward new goals, stronger relationships, and a more stable future. Their funding also made it possible for us to provide housing assistance to graduates, helping remove one of the biggest barriers people face as they work to move forward.

And their support is continuing.

Atrium Health Floyd Polk Foundation has also announced a $130,000 matching grant to help CRC Chattooga replace our roof — meaning every dollar given toward the project can go twice as far toward protecting the programs, people, and services under this roof.

We are deeply grateful for a partner that believes in both helping people today and investing in what comes next.

Thank you, Atrium Health Floyd Polk Foundation, for helping us fight hunger, build stability, and strengthen the future of CRC Chattooga.

HUNGER ACTION MONTH | Recognizing Those Who Help Us Fight Hunger

Today we’re recognizing the Tillotson Foundation for investing in something that may happen behind the scenes, but makes a huge difference in how we serve our community.

Their support helped CRC Chattooga pay for both our CharityTracker database and our Galaxy Digital volunteer database.

CharityTracker helps us keep track of visits to CRC Chattooga and the services our neighbors receive, giving us a clearer picture of the needs in our community and the work being done to meet them.

Galaxy Digital has helped us strengthen our volunteer program by making it easier to recruit volunteers, connect them with opportunities, track hours, and keep people engaged in the work.

These systems help us stay organized, accountable, and ready to serve — and that ultimately helps us fight hunger more effectively.

Thank you, Tillotson Foundation, for helping CRC Chattooga build stronger systems so we can better serve our neighbors.

HUNGER ACTION MONTH | Recognizing Those Who Help Us Fight Hunger

Today we’re recognizing Area Food Bank, one of the partners that helps make so much of our work possible.

CAFB helps us keep food on our shelves through programs like TEFAP and GNAP, but their support goes far beyond that. They also make additional food and products available to us at just pennies on the dollar. That means every dollar donated to CRC Chattooga can stretch farther and help more families.

They also connect us with donors and grant opportunities that strengthen our pantry in other ways. One of those opportunities helped fund our recent pantry makeover, including new guest-shopping coolers and freezers, improved lighting, and new flooring to help make the space safer, brighter, and more inviting.

We are incredibly grateful for a partner that not only helps us feed people today, but also helps us build a stronger food pantry for tomorrow.

Thank you, Chattanooga Area Food Bank, for helping us fight hunger and feed hope in Chattooga County.
