299 Claims and Rising: It's Easy to Support Together We Cope

The owners and operators of 51 local businesses or civic agencies can make a difference for Together We Cope and the Southland this coming week — if they claim their free directory profile on Patch.

As of today, we have 299 claimed profiles. When 350 businesses and groups join the cause,  will become the beneficiary of a free promotional campaign.

In March, our staff hit the streets to ask business owners and agency leaders to claim their Patch profile in our local directories. We're aiming for 350 claimed profiles in 31 days.

This is just the beginning of a multi-faceted partnership between Together We Cope and the south suburban Patch network. In the coming months and years, we hope to enlist our growing legion of fans and supporters to lend a hand in many of Together We Cope's projects, both large and small.

Today, we thank the following businesses, schools, houses of worship and organizations for showing their support. If you've ever been a customer of theirs or user of their services, please click through and post a review to their Patch listing. Share your voice with your friends and neighbors.
