“I am amazed by the scope of services offered by the Chattanooga Federation. I live in a city with thousands of Jews, and we don’t even have what you offer.”
Van Drivers
The Federation provides van service to medical appointments, exercise classes, the grocery store, visits to friends, and events at the Jewish Cultural Center. Service is available from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday by appointment. Van service is free to members of our community. New riders must call Amy Boulware at (423)493-0270 ext. 16. Current riders can contact drivers John Schneider at 504-6324 or Eddie Reel at 503-0238 to schedule a ride. We do our best to accommodate each rider’s scheduled appointments, giving priority to medical appointments, grocery shopping and events at the JCC. Evening and weekend programs require at least 3 riders in order to run. Contributions to the annual campaign make this service possible.
Mitzvah Meals
Mitzvah Meals provide meals to community members who are injured, ill, have a new baby, or are in need for other reasons. There is a fee (based on a sliding scale) for meals delivered longer than two weeks. Contact Amy Boulware at 493-0270 ext. 16 to be placed on the meals list. Please mention any dietary restrictions at that time.
Medicare Part D
The social services department assists community members with evaluation and education about Medicare Drug Prescription plans that are available each year during open enrollment time from October – December. Call Amy Boulware at 493-0270 ext. 16 to make an appointment for this service.
