Cornerstone Christmas Needs

The holidays are just around the corner and it's time to start thinking about how your group can be involved in the holiday ministries of Cornerstone!

Adopt-A-Child for Christmas
Many of the children in our programs will go without Christmas presents this year without the help of donors and sponsors. Since the parents of our sponsor children are not financially able to provide them with much of a Christmas, they are overwhelmingly grateful when they come into Cornerstone to pick up their children’s gifts.

If you and/or your organization, small group, co-workers, neighbors, etc. would like to participate in this year’s annual Adopt-a-Child-for-Christmas, we are offering several options to choose from:

• Option #1: Sponsor a child by donating $100
• Option #2: Buy gifts for a child from their wish list. Come by our office to pick up a child’s wish list or contact us to have one sent to you.
  

3CP Crock-Pot Drive
3CP’s (Cornerstone’s Comprehensive Care Program) goal is to provide families opportunities and encouragement to become self-sufficient through rental assistance, intensive case management and teaching life skills. One of the skills 3CP tries to promote is cooking healthy family meals and eating together at home. Also, most of our single moms and dads do not get any gifts at Christmas, so we’d love to bless them with a practical gift that would reinforce some of the skills we are trying to encourage.

How to help: Any size crock-pot (we have families that range in size from 2 members to 9 members) dropped off at our Cornerstone offices through December 14th.

New Life Center Christmas
Cornerstone’s New Life Center helps formerly homeless men transition to a new life of self-sufficiency. During their stay, residents are provided the supportive services of case management, mentoring as well as spiritual, physical, emotional, and financial guidance. Most of these men also lack family support and are blessed when others choose to make sure they have a happy Christmas.

• Option #1: Donate funds for gifts. $50 covers most of the cost for a resident’s gifts.
• Option #2: Go shopping for a resident with their Wish List. Wrap the gift and deliver it to the New Life Center or Cornerstone’s office.

For more information about any of these options, please contact Lindsay at 817-632-6000 ext. 116 or lwright@canetwork.org. More information is also available at our website at www.canetwork.org. Make a donation online and write “Christmas” in the notes box.

We look forward to partnering with you to make Christmas merry for our clients and their children.

October is traditionally a very busy month at Cornerstone as churches around Tarrant County set out to put their Faith In Action. Some churches call it Faith In Action, others call it Great Day of Hope. We call it a blessing of volunteers able to accomplish big tasks in relatively brief amounts of time! This October, McKinney Memorial Bible Church sent nearly 60 volunteers over the course of two different Saturdays and helped us sort Christmas items, prepare coats for winter giveaways, landscape our men's housing facilities, and canvas our neighborhood with information. North Richland Hills Baptist Church also participated on Sunday, October 24, by sending a team of 90 volunteers to help spruce up our flower beds and organize our upcoming book sale. They also sent teams to three of our neighbors' homes for clean up and repairs. Christ Chapel Bible Church participated by taking pallets of shoes and linens that needed to be sorted and boxed to their church then returning them the following Monday. Each of these churches blessed us abundantly by their generous gifts of time and service.


"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action- is dead." James 2:14-17

On October 21st, Cornerstone was one of two Fort Worth non-profits to be awarded a two-year, unrestricted grant by Bank of America. The Local Market Selection Committee recognized Cornerstone's commitment to address the needs of individuals and families struggling under the burden of poverty in Tarrant County.
