At Cornerstone, we have always looked forward to the day that the Resale Shop would be fully operational. It would mean we could serve more clients and meet more needs. Finally that day is here. Cornerstone is excited to announce the Grand Opening of the Cornerstone Resale Shop March 12-13, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

What's for Sale?

Picture your typical department store. A variety of clothes ranging in pricing and style hang from the racks. In addition to clothes you might find electronics and specialty items for the home. All of this is offered at the Cornerstone Resale Shop.

How this Shop is Different

When you purchase something from the Cornerstone Resale Shop, you are giving to a ministry that strives to serve the needs of the people on a daily basis. You are not only buying quality products that have been generously donated, you are doing your part to serve the homeless in Tarrant County.

What this Means for Cornerstone and Our Clients

An expanded and fully operational Resale Shop means that we can serve our clients more effectively and meet more community needs. God has blessed Cornerstone tremendously with a new facility and we have only begun to do the work He has called us to.
