Back to School
| Together We Cope believes that education and a stable home environment are the keys to breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness. Thus, in a partnership with the community, Together We Cope collects and distributes donated school supplies and backpacks to families with school-age children. Certificates for new shoes and vouchers for new clothing are also given to boost self-esteem and allow children to start their new school year on an equal footing with their peers. In 2009, 1,100 children benefited from this program. | |
