Latinx Relief Fund
Latino families in Chattanooga and surrounding areas experience many challenges to economic sustainability.
We created the Latinx Relief Fund in response to the Covid-19 pandemic to provide financial support to families who lack vital resources. We continue to see the impact the pandemic has had on the community and therefore, we strive to keep providing direct financial assistance to those that seek assistance.
With your donation, we will be able to provide rent and utility support and cover some basic needs expenses. Our community is strong and resilient even during the most difficult circumstances, and we are here to support them.
