BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Community Trust presented a $10,000 check to the area Habitat for Humanity's Neighborhood Revitalization Program, A Brush with Kindness.

The program's community outreach services help provide a wide range of housing solutions through home preservation, weatherization, critical home repairs and rehab of homes.

More than 100 BlueCross employees volunteered with Habitat to complete neighborhood revitalization projects in the Bushtown neighborhood and at Orchard Knob Middle School.

The donation, coupled with employees' volunteer hours, is a testament of the commitment BlueCross has to enhance neighborhoods throughout the Chattanooga area.
