To help our neighbors and community, Hamilton County Schools has established tornado relief supply centers as donation sites at Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts (CSLA) and Hixson Middle School. The sites originally planned to operate Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday but the donations and demand for supplies has been so great that Saturday times have been added. The sites will help Hamilton County families who have been impacted by the tornado damage this week. We thank you for your helping hand in caring for our Hamilton County families and neighbors.
