Chattanooga, TN – With temperatures rising in the Tennessee Valley, individuals are turning to the Salvation Army for relief from the heat, and the donation of 85 fans could not have come at a better time! The Salvation Army will pick up these fans tomorrow, June 25, at 10:00 AM from the Wal-Mart in Ooltewah.
