Chattanooga Coca-Cola and our commitment to our communities: In the “Readers Write” section of the Chattanooga Times Free Press, local resident Ken Still writes…
“I read with interest recently about Coca-Cola’s desire to remain in Chattanooga and its loyalty to this area. It brought to mind the events of several years ago when a tornado struck East Brainerd on Friday night before Easter.
We got our chain saw, gathered our grown children and went to work helping friends who suffered damage. By mid-morning, we were sweaty and dirty. Debris was piled in the street like an obstacle course. I saw a red semi-truck making its way through the mess and wondered why in the world it would try to come in.
As it got closer, I realized it was a Coke truck. It stopped at each house to hand out 12-Packs of water – at no cost. What a wonderful corporate citizen on a miserable day. How could I ever drink any other soda? Belated thanks to Coke!”
