“COPE provided needed road repair and construction after serious flooding in the area.”

“COPE discontinued its program of clothing and household item collection and distribution to its clients early in the year. This change was the result of COPE having to vacate the space it was utilizing for these programs. There is now insufficient space to provide for this client service.”

“COPE was required to relocate its facilities at the beginning of 2019 to a temporary location to Peace Presbyterian Church and then to its permanent location at Open Door Mission in Elkhorn. Because the space was smaller at Peace Presbyterian Church, COPE was no longer able to provide clothing and household goods for its clients. These items were given en masse to the Paralyzed Veterans and St. Vincent de Paul. Then again at the end of 2019 COPE relocated to its present location with Open Door Mission in Elkhorn, NE. At this time the basic program of COPE was reduced again such that it now administers only the distribution of food. A remaining baby supplies were given to Bethany House and all food items given en masse to the Open Door Mission. At present only large furniture items held in storage facilities and minimal food items for the assembly of food pantries are being held as inventory.”
