A major donation from a local foundation has helped CRC Chattooga reach its fundraising goal for a much-needed roof replacement, marking an important milestone for the community organization.

The Frank P. Pierce Foundation recently presented CRC Chattooga with a $130,000 check, providing the final funding needed for the organization’s roof replacement project.

The donation brings CRC Chattooga’s fundraising total to approximately $262,000, allowing the organization to move forward with replacing the roof on its facility.

The donation was made through the Atrium Health Floyd Giving July’s Dancing With Our Stars event, which helped generate support for the project.

CRC Chattooga provides a gathering place for community members, including senior citizens, offering opportunities for fellowship, activities and social interaction.

Organization representatives say the roof replacement is an important investment in the building’s future, ensuring the facility can continue serving residents for years to come.

The organization expressed appreciation to the Frank P. Pierce Foundation and Atrium Health Floyd for their support, along with community members who contributed to the fundraising effort.

CRC Chattooga said the generosity of its supporters will have an impact far beyond the building itself, helping the organization continue providing a welcoming environment for neighbors throughout the community.

The organization also thanked the individuals, churches, businesses and friends who have contributed to the effort.
