Partnership for Families, Children and Adults

We are grateful to St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, Signal Mtn. members for their heart to make a generous donation to Partnership. The gift will feed residents of the for a month! As Carmen Quezada Hutson points out, this gift of cash gives her team flexibility to meet special dietary needs of their residents.
We were also excited to see Anne Johnson again!
Anne was working as a labor and delivery nurse when she saw how victims of sexual assault were treated in the ER. It was then that she, June McEwen, Kay Chitty, and others determined to raise funds to open the R**e Crisis Center.

Congratulations to our Board Member, Barbara Marter, and friend, Rachel Pentecost Hargis, on being named 2026 Woman of Distinction Honorees!

Each year, Women of Distinction of Greater Chattanooga pays tribute to women who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to making a lasting impact—locally and beyond.

A Woman of Distinction is a visionary leader and tireless volunteer helping to improve the quality of life for others.

She establishes standards that inspire and encourage other women to achieve their full potential, paves the way for future generations, provides leadership, and influences decisions that shape and define our community.

We are excited to welcome Kolbie Bobo to the Partnership team! She will be joining our HOPE Initiative Program as a HOPE Case Manager.

Kolbie will work closely with children and families year-round, providing weekly support, helping connect families with resources, and building consistent relationships with our clients.

After months without running water and living in unsafe conditions, one local senior was forced to leave behind nearly everything she owned in order to move into a safer apartment.

Through Partnership’s Elder Services program, she was able to start over with clean towels, clothing, household essentials, and the support needed to settle into a clean and stable home. Our team will continue walking alongside her as she rebuilds and adjusts to this new chapter.

Stories like this are possible because of a community that cares. Every donation, volunteer, and supporter helps Partnership provide hope, dignity, and practical support to seniors and families facing difficult circumstances right here in our community.

Thank you for being part of the impact. 💙

For more than 40 years, our Domestic Violence Shelter has been a place of refuge, healing, and hope for survivors in our community. 💜

Originally built 115 years ago and acquired by Partnership for Families, Children and Adults in 1984, the building has served countless individuals and families through difficult times. But after decades of use, updates became essential.

Following mold remediation in 2024, we began a major multi-floor renovation project in fall 2025 to better meet the growing needs of our domestic violence shelter clients. Shelter stays have increased 67% over the past three years, making every square foot more important than ever.

The renovations will include two brand new kitchens and bathrooms designed to provide safer, more comfortable spaces for those we serve.

We are deeply grateful to:
✨ DR Horton for providing new appliances through vendor partnerships
✨ Shaw Industries for donating beautiful LVT flooring
✨ Pillar Construction for their outstanding renovation work

We also look forward to sharing future updates, including new furnishings made possible through the generosity of our Circle of Hope members.

Thank you to everyone helping us create spaces of dignity, safety, and healing for survivors. 💜
