The Chattanooga Free Store is a non-religious, volunteer run, mutual aid coalition. Their core belief is that everyone deserves to live well, and to be able to meet their basic needs. They believe the solution to hunger, poverty, and other material inequality, is for communities to build their own systems and structures to care for each other. Communities, neighborhoods, and families know better than anyone what they need, and we believe in bringing them to the table and putting the resources we have directly in their hands. And they’ve been doing exactly that.
2022 brings them into their own physical space at 1701 Dodson Ave. All they needed was some furniture like clothing racks, storage and folding chairs. That’s where our $1,400 came in handy.
