Meet this year's Adopt a Box chair, Lynda Hood!

Lynda is president of the Chattanooga Bar Association, and she and her colleagues are rolling up their sleeves to help us reach 200 boxes for local kidney patients this season.

How Adopt a Box works:

1. You adopt a box for $100
2. We provide access to kidney-friendly holiday foods
3. It's delivered to a local kidney patient before the holidays

Simple, local, and it makes a real difference.

It’s that time of year again for the Kidney Foundation’s Adopt-A-Box holiday food program. Applications are officially open for our patients, and they’re already rolling in. That means it’s time for our community to rally, too! We need Chattanooga’s help to make sure local kidney patients and their families have access to renal friendly options.

HOW IT STARTED ➡️ HOW IT WENT. 🪩✨

One word to describe how they felt when they said YES to Dare to Dance 2026… and a thousand memories to describe how it ended. ❤️
What started with nerves, uncertainty, and stepping WAY outside their comfort zones turned into months of hard work, unforgettable friendships, incredible performances, and a whole lot of heart.

They came in as beginners. They walked away as dancers, friends, and part of something so much bigger than themselves.
And the best part? Every step on that dance floor helped make a difference for kidney patients right here in our community.

Dare to Dance 2026, you were more than a competition. You were an EXPERIENCE. 🥹🪩
