Dear Friend:

Thank you for taking the time to read this important message.

As you may or may not know, I am currently working as a coordinator at Orange Grove Center in the recycling department. Through our partnerships with the City of Chattanooga, over 100 local businesses, and other schools and non-profit agencies, Orange Grove Recycling employs about 100 of our intellectually disabled clients in meaningful and relevant ways. Through our programs, our clients have the opportunity to develop and hone critical skills that better prepare them to work and positively contribute to the Chattanooga area community.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you to support us.

At Orange Grove, we are currently undergoing a large capital campaign that will support many innovations and improvements, ranging from new retirement homes for our clients to a much needed comprehensive study on Autism, which will generate multiple benefits for our community. The recycling center will also benefit; a good portion of the funds will go toward expanding our processing and storage facilities. We have been experiencing steady growth over the years, and your donation will help us to better serve our clients and the greater Chattanooga area community at large.

Donating through this website is simple, fast, and completely secure. However, if you do not feel comfortable donating online, and would prefer to send a check, you may do so by sending your donation to the address below. Either way, you will receive a letter of confirmation of your donation for tax purposes.

Thank you once again for your consideration of this crucial campaign. In just one year at Orange Grove, I have truly become a believer in this mission and work here, and am honored to help further our abilities to support the developmentally disabled population of our community.

Thank you once again,

Austin Jett
