Donations Needed for Family Violence Shelter

We need your help! The Partnership’s Family Violence Shelter is currently at full capacity and more than half of these clients are children. We are in need of canned soups that children would like (chicken noodle, vegetable alphabet, etc.), as well as, toiletry and personal items for both women and children, such as, toilet paper, hand soap, combs, etc. Your in-kind donations can be dropped off at 300 East 8th Street at any time. If you would like to make a financial contribution, as little as $76 covers one night of shelter. Financial contributions to the shelter can be sent to 1800 McCallie Avenue Chattanooga, TN 37404, or click here to make an online contribution https://secure.qgiv.com/cps_donors/?key=pfca&restrict=Crisis+and+Emergency+Services. We appreciate your support for these families affected by domestic violence. For more information contact Holly Ashley at 423-697-3829 or email hashley@partnershipfca.com.

New Playground for Crisis Center!

The Partnership’s new playground for the Crisis Resource Center is officially open! Volunteers and staff joined us Tuesday night for an open house and ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of the playground installation. Chattanooga Hamilton County Medical Alliance president, Melissa Portera was accompanied by Alliance members Carrie Fowler, Amy Sowell, and Milli Yium as we thanked them for the $15,000 grant which made the installation possible. Several volunteers from Northwest Georgia Bank attended with their children to see how all their hard work paid off.
