The Forgotten Child Fund is operated and supported by volunteers with many local emergency response agencies, including the Chattanooga Fire Department, Chattanooga-Hamilton County Rescue, Chattanooga Police Department, Hamilton County Emergency Services, Hamilton Couinty Sheriff's Department, Hamilton County Special Tactics and Rescue Service (STARS), Red Bank Fire Department, Signal Mountain Fire Department and several volunteer fire departments.
During the last two Christmas seasons, the Forgotten Child Fund provided toys to approximately 6,400 children. Captain Kelly Simmons, president of the Forgotten Child Fund, says help is needed, now more than ever. "Everyone knows how tough the economy has been," says Simmons. "Many people have lost their jobs and are struggling to pay their bills, let alone buy presents for their children. We need to help where we can."
