The Nightingale Network of the Women’s Fund of Greater Chattanooga awarded $10,000 to the Chattanooga Free Store to provide “Essential Items” to anyone who needs them including: diapers, baby wipes, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, period products, sexual health items, and harm reduction items.


Thanks to a generous donor, Deb Hulse, and 2025 Nightingale Network memberships exceeding our goal, we were able to give finalists, Partnership for Families, Children and Adults and The Launch Pad, grants of $3,900 each to support their missions.
