First Volunteer Bank donated a new bench to the Morning Pointe Foundation to go at Morning Pointe of Chattanooga at Shallowford’s courtyard to mark the reopening of the assisted living community, eight months after sustaining major damage during the April F3 tornado.
Over the past seven months, residents displaced by the tornado were housed at nearby Morning Pointe locations and other senior living communities while Morning Pointe of Chattanooga was being rebuilt. Funds for the bench were raised by First Volunteer Bank customers and employees who felt the need to give whatever they could to help those who had lost so much.
“After so many residents were stressed and displaced during the Chattanooga tornado, First Volunteer Bank wanted to give the Morning Pointe community a peaceful place to enjoy the fresh air for many years to come,” said Betty Grable, the senior vice president of commercial banking at First Volunteer Bank.
