Today is our “One-Day Pledge Event” here on WUTC.

It’s a chance to show your support - in real time - for your NPR station here in Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley - and it’s a chance to help us feed people in need.

That need is greater than ever now because of the pandemic - and its painful economic blows for so many people.

Ten percent of what we raise today here on WUTC will support the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.

Throughout the day, we have shared conversations with staffers at the Food Bank, describing their vital work throughout twenty counties in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.

Mark Hilling is the Food Bank’s interim President and CEO.
