For nearly 100 years the Neediest Cases Fund campaign raises money to help hundreds of people in the Chattanooga area, and support for the fund and its mission continued to grow in 2013.
During the course of the 2013 campaign, which runs from Thanksgiving Day through the end of the year, readers of the Chattanooga Times Free Press and other supporters of the Neediest Cases Fund contributed more than $61,000 – a 7 percent increase over the amount raised in 2012. And the $57,000 raised in 2012 was a 5 percent increase over the previous year.
