Welcome Home of Chattanooga recently received a $3,000 grant from Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to support residents in need.
This grant, part of the foundation’s “Nourishing Our Neighbors” initiative, will support Welcome Home’s efforts to combat hunger and promote healthy living through hands-on nutritional education, according to a news release.
“With the rising cost of groceries, this generous grant will have an extraordinary impact on our work this year,” Michelle Goble, director of happiness at Welcome Home of Chattanooga, said in the release.
The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation, established in 2001, supports food banks, meal programs and community organizations across a 10-state footprint.
Welcome Home of Chattanooga opened in 2015 to provide shelter for those in need of cancer respite or hospice care.
