The Chattanooga Market Becomes a Drop Center for Food Bank

Bring Your Food Donations Every Sunday!

The Chattanooga Market is proud to announce a great new addition to our 2009 season.

We are working with The Chattanooga Area Food Bank to become a drop off location Every Sunday starting on our Opening Day April 26.
In 2008, we collected food during our Five-Star Food Fight, Lodge Cast-Iron Cook-off, and the very popular Holiday Market.  We filled a few barrels last season and were proud to assist this outstanding organization.  But, we felt we could do better.
Now, it is time to step it up! We are asking the Chattanooga Market Fans and patrons to assist those in our community that need  help. Last year the CAFB was able to provide more than 13,600 Emergency Food Boxes to over 125,000 families in need. Those numbers are expected to rise in 2009. The additional food items will only be possible if we all do our part.
Please make a note and as you visit the Chattanooga Market during the 2009 season remember those that can use this valuable donation of food.
What items are most needed in food drives?
o    peanut butter
o    canned tuna, salmon, meat
o    grits, oatmeal
o    cereal
o    canned fruits, greens & vegetables
