Chattanooga's Community Resources Sharing Chattanooga food pantries, clothing drives, housing help, free classes, family events, and volunteer opportunities.

Whether you need help or want to help, you belong here. 💛 Amanda Sovago-Royal, Administrator Welcome to Chattanooga’s Community Resources! 💛 This page was created to make sure no one in our city feels alone when they need help. Here, we share real, local, and accessible resources — from food pantries to clothing drives, free classes, homelessness assistance programs, and family-friendly community

events. It’s also a space to highlight ways we can support each other: volunteer opportunities, donation drives, and organizations making a difference in our neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking for help, looking to help, or simply want to stay connected to what’s happening in our community — you belong here. Chattanooga is stronger when we support one another.

When an emergency happens, finding safe care for your loved one should not be another crisis to manage.

Tennessee Caregiver Coalition's Emergency Respite Voucher Program provides eligible caregivers with up to $600 for temporary respite care while they navigate an emergency. Once the application process is complete, caregivers typically receive funds within 72 hours.

If you or a caregiver you know is facing an emergency and needs respite, reach out to us to learn more or apply.

Our great state lost one of its greatest philanthropists, singers, and just plain East Tennesseans. Like Dolly, The Chattanooga Public Library Foundation wants to inspire a love of reading in our children and be a catalyst for lifelong learning in our community.

To honor her legacy, this Saturday (8/29), we will be hosting a Dolly inspired book "sale" at the Downtown Chattanooga Public Library Branch from 10am-12pm. All books will be FREE!

Featured genres include:
* Children's Books
* Inspirational
* Spirituality
* Arts/Music
* Memoirs
* Tennessee/Cultural

Also, check out the link in our bio to find information about how to sign your child up to receive books from the Imagination Library.
