Thankful for our Generous Community!
This past weekend, through the coordination and efforts of Cornerstone Church and many other individuals and organizations in our community, over 400 families received groceries and food items to prepare their Thanksgiving meal.
The church received food donations from Miami-Dade County League of Cities, Publix, Farm Share, and many other individual donors—which was then sorted, bagged and distributed by dozens of volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this cause—we are grateful for our generous community!
