"When our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, we felt lost and overwhelmed. C.O.P.E. provided us with not just resources and support, but a community that understood our journey. Today, she's in remission and thriving."

"I've started volunteering with C.O.P.E earlier this year and it's one of the most gratifying decisions I've made in 2025. It has given me much joy to know I'm helping make a difference in our communities. It's always fun and festive at our events to where it doesn't even feel like work as a volunteer, but more like fellowship with family! Looking forward to what more we can accomplish!"

"COPE is an amazing volunteer company that truly makes a difference in the Memphis community. They work hard to support kids by giving away backpacks filled with school supplies, helping them feel confident and ready for the school year. They also provide warm coats during the winter, making sure kids stay safe and comfortable when the weather gets cold. It’s clear that COPE cares deeply about the well-being and future of local children.
COPE also spreads joy beyond the schools by bringing happiness to elderly people in nursing homes, especially during Christmas time. Seeing the smiles they put on seniors’ faces is truly heartwarming. Their kindness and dedication show in everything they do, and their impact can be felt across the community. COPE deserves five stars for their compassion, generosity, and commitment to helping others."

"Reflect on how you feel when you seek help and are warmly welcomed by both men and women in the group. They provide clear directions on what to do and how to do it. I truly felt welcomed as the group interacted with those in need of items, and seeing the smiles on their faces was priceless. The group was friendly and supportive. They deserve top congratulations for all their efforts and sharing. Job well done! "

"Volunteering with C.O.P.E. has been a powerful reminder for me of how important it is to pour back into our community with compassion and purpose. Supporting this amazing nonprofit allows me to help provide hoodies, blankets, toiletries, and a hot sandwich with chips—meeting both immediate needs and offering comfort and dignity. Being part of this work shows me how simple acts of kindness can truly make a lasting impact."
