Community Helps Itself

Community Helps Itself is a Chattanooga-based 501(c)(3) whose mission is to create a more connected, equitable, and self-reliant community. At CHI, we believe strong communities are built by working together. We support local makers, service providers, and neighbors by creating a sustainable network, rooted in shared resources and mutual support. Think of it like a CSA that gives back to the local community with our 'Fill The Fridge' program and other donations.

Through our CHI Markets grocery store, individual donations, and partnerships with local organizations, we bring organic, fresh, locally grown produce, fresh local eggs, locally raised meats and organic dairy right to your neighborhood—making abundance accessible to all.
