Do what you can to support these establishments while they remain closed. Buy a gift card. Order takeout or delivery. Make a donation to the United Way of Greater Chattanooga’s COVID-19 Community Response & Relief: https://unitedwaycha.org/covid19/ . 4/

How can we help? I found 4 extra N95 masks leftover from home renovation. Should we begin donating those now? Where? Other needs?
