This Tuesday and Wednesday, the traveling museum People of Hope: Faith-Filled Stories of Neighbors Helping Neighbors will visit Miller Park in downtown Chattanooga, hosted by Catholic Charities of East Tennessee. We invite friends of all faiths to come and experience this free, interactive museum designed to foster empathy, service, and compassion in our community. Deacon Dave Duhamel, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of East TN, said of the event: "[This] museum seeks to inspire visitors to engage in their local communities; deepen their understanding of the awe of encountering others at their most vulnerable; and experience the transformation that occurs when we live out our faith through service."

Volunteer opportunities at the traveling museum may still be available, please contact Misty at mweber[at]ccetn[dot]org (see flyer) as soon as possible for more information.

During the Juneteenth celebrations around Chattanooga this year, volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints helped others in our community find their ancestors through FamilySearch at The Bethlehem Center () and the Bessie Smith Cultural Center (). One visitor shared that their great-uncle was a Black cowboy who even worked on a film with John Wayne. Another mentioned the loss of their mother, sharing how much they were thinking about her that day and memories of their favorite meal. This community event celebrating Juneteenth offered an opportunity for local service and volunteer organizations to engage with residents and visitors alike. We express our gratitude to the attendees at these events, the volunteers, and the wonderful organizations that made this celebration possible.

We are so grateful to all those who organized this event, and to our wonderful friends and neighbors who made this a night to remember!
