The Cost of Poverty Experience is an event that gives you a glimpse into the lives of low-income individuals
and families living in your community. See the obstacles that are faced, the decisions that are made, and the
consequences that impact these families every day. COPE has been used to help many organizations and communities across the nation work more effectively with low-income families to understand and address the issues of poverty more comprehensively. We encourage pre-registration to help us plan the event.
Registration fee is $15 and includes lunch. Registration begins at 9:30 am.
