The Northside Neighborhood House (NNH) is a social agency that promotes the independence of residents in North Chattanooga by providing a hand up through education and assistance. There are three programs:
1) Direct Assistance with utilities, food, prescriptions, and referrals,
2) Education programs for children and adults, and
3) a Thrift Store.
In the Direct Assistance program, NNH verifies the clients need and arranges assistance, counseling or referral to other community programs.
The Education programs for children include after school activities, homework assistance and summer programs. Adults receive information on topics such as health, safety, and family issues. Basic Education classes are also offered. There are special projects at Easter and Christmas for individuals and families.
In the Thrift Shop, clothing and household items are donated and then are either sold at a minimal cost or given to clients who experience sudden or immediate difficulties.
You can support NNH by donating money, clothing or household items or by volunteering at the Thrift Store or working with one of the children's programs or at Santa’s House during the holidays.
