Greeting friends!

The Cornerstone Board of Directors is reaching out to you because we urgently need your help. We are experiencing a temporary cash shortfall and need to raise money immediately.

We have been incredibly blessed by being led by Helen Syriac. From the homeless shelter she started at Sacred Heart Church, to the Soup Kitchen, Clothing Bank, Community Center for youth, Food Pantry, and the Family shelter, she has devoted her life as a full- time, dedicated volunteer to steer the direction of Cornerstone.

Since that beginning, we have relied on local donations and volunteers to run the program. The Board of Directors evaluated our sustainability and created a long-term plan for the future. Sharon Redfern is the new Executive Director and Bryan Flint, Sr. is the Deputy Director. Sharon has experience in fundraising and grant writing and is an important part of our sustainability plan.

While Cornerstone pursues new funding sources, we plan to stay true to our mission of helping throughout our community.

If you find it in your heart to us get through this immediate shortfall of funds, you can rest-assured, that Cornerstone will continue to assist individuals and families be as self- sufficient as possible.

Please help!

Angela Atwater, President

The Board of Directors of Cornerstone
