Hello Cope Supporters!

It’s clear that you believe in a future where every child can grow up in a safe, healthy and loving home and I thank you for making that possible by donating, volunteering and spreading the word about Cope.

Gratefully,
Michele

Launching this year’s Holiday Family Traditions Program

Every parent deserves the joy of seeing their children’s face light up with excitement during the holidays, but not every family can afford to celebrate the season with gifts, meals and other special traditions. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to impact families in our community, these holiday celebrations are out of reach this year for so many families.

You can help parents give their children the gifts of quality time, fun, laughter and memories that last a lifetime. We are seeking donations of gift cards to help parents purchase the ingredients for holiday meals and shop for their children’s holiday gifts. These gift cards give parents the opportunity to create special holiday memories for their children that they will cherish forever.

Cope Staff Retreat

Last month our entire staff (safely) gathered in -person for our first staff retreat since the before the pandemic struck. This year's focus was on building understanding of different backgrounds and team building after being isolated from each other for over a year. Taking time to reflect on our work, strengthen our team and strategize for the future is a vital part of ensuring that Cope continues to be a strong pillar for the community.
