Truth for LifeThis month, we will explore a few Christian coffee houses in our area. Many of these are run by churches, ministries, and individuals with a heart for justice and evangelism. We’ll focus on the following three:
We seek to be part of positive change in our city. We want to do our part to help end homelessness, poverty, human trafficking, joblessness. We want to not only partner with non-profit organizations in our city that are addressing these issues, but we also look to employ people who are serious about success, who have experienced hardship and even crises in their lives. We aren't their destination, but we certainly want to be a key stop on their pathway to success. On Sundays, a church service is held in the downtown location of this coffee house. Homeless individuals may request a free cup of coffee.
Our mission is to raise awareness for survivors of human trafficking. A portion of each sale benefits organizations and non-profits that are working to help restore survivors and victims of human and sex trafficking.
Founded by the Young Life ministry, Lantern Coffee started as a way to bring in students and community members looking for a place to relax and belong. Sitting just a few blocks from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, with a location in the downtown area, [staff] say The Lantern Coffee was purposefully created in this spot to form a stronger connection with the city. In striving to develop a new local hangout, they work to serve compassion and friendliness with every sale. @thelanternchatt on Instagram.

Who We Are:
Over forty years ago, we started as the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, and fed the hungry each year by the hundreds of thousands. Over that time, we also added other services for the homeless, like shelter and clothing and counseling. Today, we are no longer just a Kitchen. We are a Foundation for hope. We are the CHATT Foundation.

The Kitchen, where it all began...
Come on in and have a seat! We will be here to feed the hungry and help all who come through our doors.
We get to offer these benefits thanks to the kind donations we receive from this caring community. We want each person to feel cared for and enjoy support for as long as it takes for them to rebuild confidence and achieve their goals.
Three meals are served each and every day to homeless and low-income men, women, and youth.
