Empower Through Education (COPE)

Change the Way Our Community Understands Poverty

Poverty is more than numbers — it’s real families with real struggles. Through the Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE), Unite DFW helps participants step into those shoes and come away changed. Every $50 supports one participant’s journey.

• Change the Way You See Poverty

• COPE: Step Into Another’s Shoes

Consider one of these options:

• $25 provides a seat for a frontline worker
• $50 provides one experience that changes lives
• $100 provides a family of 4 to attend a Community Simulation together
• $500 helps a church, business, or nonprofit host a simulation in their community
• $5,000 helps Unite engage stakeholder organizations in a given community

What is the BUZZ all about? Previous participants have said...

• "Thought provoking, realistic, timely"
• "It was powerful and effective"
• "I believe it is an incredible simulation of experiencing what our challenged brothers and sisters go through"
