United Way of Southwest Alabama: COPE Event

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - COPE is a groundbreaking, immersive experience designed to foster understanding, empathy, and innovative thinking about poverty. This unique event brings together participants from diverse backgrounds to confront the daily challenges faced by individuals and families living in poverty.

COPE participants will embark on a simulated month-long journey, condensed into four fifteen-minute weeks, where they will experience firsthand the time constraints, budgeting obstacles, transportation challenges, and more that are part of life in poverty. The aim is to challenge preconceptions and foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of poverty.

This event is a powerful awareness tool, particularly for those who have never experienced poverty. By participating in COPE, attendees can become advocates for positive change in their communities.
