Food City continued its support of the Annual Coats for Kids program sponsored by the Hamilton County (Tennessee) Police Department and Fire Department with a donation of $2,500 to The Forgotten Child Fund.
The Forgotten Child Fund is made up of volunteers from firefighters in Chattanooga, Hamilton County EMS and sheriff’s employees and other volunteer organizations.
All of the funds donated benefit its mission that no child is forgotten on Christmas Day. The organization has expanded its outreach by distributing toys to children affected by disasters throughout the year.
It also coordinates a Coats for Kids program, distributing more than 5,000 coats each year in collaboration with different volunteer groups. Last year, The Forgotten Child Fund brought Christmas to more than 13,000 children.
