Richard Tripp is having a bad run of luck.
Tripp, as some of you may know, runs an organization called Care of Poor People. Twice a year, around Thanksgiving and Easter, with the help of tons of volunteers, he puts on an enormous potluck dinner and lays out tables and tables of donated clothes and toiletries. Sometimes a band plays. It's a party, and lots of poor people walk away with some much-needed supplies.

This is a tense year for Richard and the Steering Committee as we are very near the Spring Event date without a facility to house it. Thank you, Pitch, as always for your unswerving support and loyalty. We expect far more homeless and poor this Event than any in the past due to the economy and are faced with declining monetary donations as well as volunteers since folks have less flexible time (time often = cash) to offer as well as items that they would normally donate are planning to be garage sale items, etc. We need all the help that we can get and know that the Kansas City community will rally for us yet again. Please contact Richard or visit the COPP website.
I have worked with Mr. Tripp for many years in various locations all over the downtown area. It is unfortunate that this year finding a building large enough to host this event is proving to be a daunting task. So many poor and homeless people look forward to this gathering,in order to obtain those basic needed for themselves and their families. If any individual or organization knows of building and or location to hold this years event please contact Richard Tripp at http://www.coppinc.com/
