WMOK – METROPOLIS, IL — Super City Cleaners has wrapped up its October Community Partner initiative with a $750 donation to the C.O.P.E. Food Pantry, closing out a month of support for local hunger relief across Massac County.
The check was presented at Super City Cleaners in Metropolis, where C.O.P.E. President Gene Tilker accepted the donation on behalf of the organization. The $750 was raised through the October Community Partner initiative, in which Super City Cleaners spotlighted C.O.P.E. throughout the month under the theme “Your laundry does a little more this month.”
In its follow-up announcement, Super City Cleaners thanked its customers, noting that every time residents choose a locally owned business, they help make community initiatives like this possible — and extended an even bigger thank-you to the people at C.O.P.E. who work year-round to make sure local neighbors have access to the food and resources they need.
“Local support. Local impact” was the theme of the October effort, and the donation will support C.O.P.E.’s ongoing mission of serving local families in need.
C.O.P.E. Food Pantry’s main Metropolis location is at 1013 North Avenue, with distribution hours Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. C.O.P.E. also distributes in Brookport on the 3rd Thursday of the month (9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at Brookport Christian Church) and in Joppa on the 3rd Saturday (10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at the Joppa Civic Center). For information, call (618) 524-3635; bring a photo ID and proof of Massac County residency for pantry services.
