Christian Outreach Program-Elkhorn

It’s been a week since our WWDD? Brunch and we haven’t started the recap posting, but if you have a favorite pic from the event, please share it here!

We’d love to see all these Elkhorn kids paired with a mentor right away!

There are 11 Elkhorn students waiting for a mentor.

They have already said yes to having someone in their corner.

Now we need 11 adults to say yes to them.

Not someone with all the answers.
Not someone extraordinary.

Someone consistent.

Someone who will show up, listen, remember what matters to them and come back the next week.

That is mentoring.

One student.
One mentor.
One relationship built over time.

Eleven students are waiting. We would love to make that number zero.

If you have ever thought about becoming a mentor, this may be your moment.

Become a TeamMates mentor in Elkhorn.

We're so grateful for a generous donation from the Green State Foundation!

This has been a really busy summer at COPE, and without community support from neighbors and partners, we wouldn't have been able to keep up.

Thank you, Green State !

Have you seen our new favorite video yet?

We worked hard to put together a piece that portrayed everything that COPE is:

COPE is committed to providing quality services to families seeking support in times of crisis, with resources for both short-term and long-term support that increases the self-sufficiency of our neighbors. The vision of COPE is to build relationships with families and individuals in western Douglas...

We love it when a plan comes together! This was our 8th Monday of the new Summer Food for Kids program. We realized many of our families participate in the weekend backpack food programs during the year, but our neighbors don't have access to summer food programs for their kids.

We saw a need, and we met it with a fantastic but super-simple grocery pickup program.

If you know a neighbor who might qualify for this program, please suggest they email us at [email protected] to get on the list!

Here's what our neighbor families got this week:

Each month, the members of the Western Douglas County Rotary Club run the DC West Mobile Food Pantry. There's a fair bit of lifting and being out in all kinds of weather involved, but they don't complain!

Given the forecast of heat plus a chance for rain, let's see if we can pull in some support. If you can help out tomorrow, July 8, from 3:45pm to 5:15pm, please email us at [email protected]
