Together We Cope
Bridging the gap
Together We Cope bridges the gap for Southland residents in temporary crisis by providing food, shelter, clothing and referrals, empowering them to return to self-sufficiency. In response to the steel mill closings, which hit south suburban residents particularly hard, Oak Forest resident Loraine Cook founded Together We Cope in 1982. For the year 2016 - 2017, Together We Cope provided assistance to 47,500 people. The Financial Assistance Program provided $157,826, the Clothing Program provided $494,786, and the Food Program provided $1,332,431. Our Holiday (Adopt-A-Child for Holiday Gifts) Program and our Back-to-School (Supplies) Program benefitted 945 children.

- DonateStock is the trusted facilitator of charitable gifts of securities, crypto and other non-cash assets for more than 10,000 nonprofits and donors.
- To better serve our stock and crypto donors, we host giving pages (like this one) so they can donate securities and crypto to other nonprofits from their DonateStock account.
- As this specific nonprofit has not yet registered with us, the donation will be processed and paid by Donatestock Charitable, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Once the gift is initiated, we will contact the nonprofit beneficiary to inform them of the gift and arrange payment.
- After the gift is received, we will provide a tax receipt to the donor and send the proceeds, gift details and donor information to the nonprofit beneficiary.
- Payments are normally sent via ACH within 2 weeks of receiving the shares or crypto. If we cannot reach the nonprofit beneficiary within 30 days, we will remit payment by check.
- There is no cost to donors or financial advisors. Nonprofits are charged a modest transaction fee that is in line with (or lower than) other online gifts.
