HHM CPAs Donates Over 170 Family Thanksgiving Meals to Area Organizations

HHM Certified Public Accountants were able to provide Thanksgiving meals to 172 families in the Chattanooga area during its annual Thanksgiving fundraiser. Catelyn Millaway, a senior accountant at HHM CPAs, was the brainchild of the fundraiser. The meal boxes were delivered to five Chattanooga organizations on November 17, 2023, for distribution to local families. 

Millaway started the fundraiser in 2021 at HHM CPAs. She coordinated with several local nonprofits to develop a list of needed items. Staff at HHM collected the dry goods and packaged them in individual boxes throughout the month of November. Each food box donated included peanut butter, tea, canned vegetables, canned fruit, all-purpose baking mix, cornbread mix, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, brownie mix, cooking spray, and sugar. The HHM partner group supported the staff’s efforts and wrote a check to each of the five organizations to purchase turkeys/hams for each of the food boxes that were put together.

“When I had this idea two years ago, I never imagined that the firm would offer me such incredible support, and that together we would be able to make a significant impact on the Chattanooga community,” said Millaway of the fundraising efforts. “Small acts of kindness can have a big impact on those around us."

The month-long, staff-led initiative provided meals to Tri State Food Pantry, Chattanooga Room at the Inn, Emma Wheeler Homes, Calvary Chapel Chattanooga, and La Paz of Chattanooga.
