Meet Our 2025 Christmas Ambassador – Tom Seaton

The Salvation Army Serving Carter, Greene, Unicoi & Washington Counties in Johnson City, TN is pleased to announce the 2025 Christmas Ambassador – Tom Seaton, owner of Firehouse Restaurant and Catering in downtown Johnson City.  Mr. Seaton will be sharing the Christmas spirit with the community by promoting opportunities to engage with The Salvation Army – through giving joyfully of treasure, talent and time.

This year, you will find a Salvation Army kettle and Angel Tree in the lobby of Firehouse Restaurant and Tom encouraging you to make The Salvation Army part of your holiday experience and traditions.  Also, ask about the sweet toy firetruck special!

Tom Seaton is a native to Johnson City - his family goes back eight generations in East Tennessee.  Tom, his wife Donna and son Justin currently own and operate Firehouse Restaurant and Catering at 627 West Walnut Street in Johnson City. This business that Tom started 45 years ago while attending East State University has become a local favorite and community hub, reflecting Tom’s love for community and hospitality.

Tom’s love for community and hospitality extends beyond his restaurant and catering business and has provided him the opportunity to serve on several non-profit and ministry boards in our area, including The Salvation Army, Doe River Gorge Ministries, Johnson City  Chamber of Commerce, March of Dimes, United Way, ETSU Athletic Scholarship Association, ETSU Foundation, and Tennessee Restaurant Association.

Tom and Donna enjoy worshipping at Grace Fellowship Church.
