Metropolitan Ministries is Here To Help
Winter months can be an especially rough time to have a financial emergency. For families and individuals in need of emergency financial or food assistance, there are local resources worth checking into.
Metropolitan Ministries (MetMin) have been working in Chattanooga for nearly 40 years. They provide emergency assistance on a first-come – first-served basis. The MetMin doors are open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays to discuss requests for help. There are great needs all over our city so the first 35 individual requests that come to their doorstep each day are heard. Wednesdays are reserved for individuals age 62 and older.
Understanding that each person’s situation is unique, Ministry staff and volunteers recommend emergency financial assistance on a case-by-case basis.
Rent Help: available only from the 1st-15th of each month.
Electric Help: available only from the 15th-end of each month.
Food & Other Utility Help: available all month on Mon, Tues & Wed.
