Giving Tuesday is just ONE week away, and you can make a difference starting NOW! ❤️

In case you missed it, a generous donor through the CFGC Family Fund has given $28,000 to strengthen the vital supports offered through our Housing Resource Center for the people who call it home.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re calling on our Chattanooga community to help us DOUBLE this gift. Our donor has turned their contribution into a matching challenge, and every dollar you give will be matched until we reach our goal of $56,000!

In the coming days, we will share stories from AIM Center members and residents whose lives have been greatly impacted by the Housing Resource Center and why these programs matter, especially for people living with Serious Mental Illness. You’ll see how support like yours helps individuals stay connected to recovery, build stability, and continue working toward independent living.

Supporting this initiative means investing in mental health recovery right here in Chattanooga. No gift is too small. Even sharing our message helps amplify the voices of our community and can make the difference for someone on their recovery journey.

We had such an incredible time at Gratefull and are so thankful for this amazing community! 🦃

We look forward to this opportunity as a Clubhouse every year not only because of the delicious food, and my goodness was it good, but also because we get to connect with the greater community by volunteering at the event and sharing a meal and conversations with so many of our neighbors. It was truly a wonderful time! 🧡

In true Clubhouse fashion, our emergency food pantry has become side by side work within the Wellness Unit. 🤝

Our emergency pantry began as exactly that, an emergency. It was a quick response to support our community, especially members who rely on SNAP benefits, and we are still blown away by how generously you all stepped in to stock it. But organizing the space, sorting items as they arrive, and creating a fair and timely system to get food out to folks is no small task. That is where one of our members, Chris, stepped up to the plate and made all the difference.

Chris has a real knack for organization and cataloging. Earlier this year, he helped organize and catalog our expansive Clubhouse library. So when he saw that the emergency pantry needed support, he not only stepped in, he made it look easy! He has been working closely with our Wellness Unit to keep the pantry running smoothly and to make sure members can come in and get the food and supplies they need.

This is a support we hope to continue offering our Clubhouse community. If you have not had a chance to contribute to this initiative yet, now is a great time. The effects of the government shutdown will continue to be felt well through the holiday season.

Recently, we had the privilege of welcoming our friends from Chattanooga Symphony & Opera back to the Clubhouse for a special wind quintet performance for our community! 🎶

Music plays a vital role in mental health recovery, and many of our staff and members use it as a way to heal and connect with others. We love our weekly karaoke sessions, but there’s something especially meaningful about experiencing a live performance like this that helps us feel grounded and uplifted. 🧡

We’re grateful for our wonderful relationship with the symphony and proud to support all the incredible work they do for our community. If you haven’t been to one of their shows yet, give them a follow and go see them in action!

Last week, we took an evening to celebrate the many accomplishments of our hardworking members who have found employment through our IPS Program! 🥳

IPS, or Individual Placement and Support, is a proven model of supported employment that helps people living with serious mental illness find competitive jobs that match their interests and goals. This approach is truly transforming lives.

We host these dinners several times a year as an opportunity to come together, share successes, and reflect on the progress our members continue to make through the support of this program. Several members shared their stories and achievements, inspiring everyone in the room. We also enjoyed some great food together, too! 😋

We are so proud of our motivated and resilient community that recognizes employment is not the end result of recovery, but an essential part of it. Please join us in congratulating these incredible members on their success! 🧡

Happy Halloween from AIM Center! 🎃

Our holiday socials are always such a special chance to pause, step away from the day-to-day, and simply enjoy being together. Today was no different! Many of us love Halloween, so of course we had a blast celebrating as a community. We’re grateful for this incredible group of people who make AIM Center what it is. 🧡
