David Leatherwood
David Leatherwood is retiring from the Food City in Hixson at the end of the month. David has helped feed our families for 52 years. He started with the Red Food Store while still a student at Hixson High School and went from bag boy to manager.
My father Charles was a regular customer at the Rivermont Store. Dad, who was in the grocery business in North Chattanooga for years, said Mr. Leatherwood was one of the last old fashion grocery store managers. Mr. Leatherwood was always interested in my father’s experiences in the food store business. Dad said Mr. Leatherwood would greet each customer with a smile and “is there anything I can help you with?”

Northside Neighborhood House Celebrates Its 97th Year Of Service Thursday, February 11, 2021
February 14, 2021, marks the 97th anniversary of Northside Neighborhood House, the mission of which is to promote the independence of residents north of the Tennessee River within Hamilton County by providing a hand up through education and assistance.
The NNH was founded in 1924 by a group of women who saw their neighbors living in poverty on the banks of the north shore in downtown Chattanooga. They were living in shacks and needed bedding during the cold winter months. Instead of just bringing blankets from their homes, the women also taught skills such as quilting, nutrition, and budgeting. They then opened a settlement house to meet other needs. Ninety-seven years later, the NNH is still a safe space for neighbors to turn to when they are in a difficult place.
