Partnering for safe and healthy communities.

Youth on campus typically experience egg decorating activities and an Easter egg hunt. We would like any egg hunt items to be delivered to our Ozanam Campus or Gillis Campus by April 5. If you would like to help with the hard-boiled eggs (or donate eggs, and the kitchen can boil them), deliver them to the Ozanam Campus no later than the evening of April 6. We have baskets for the youth to use during the hunt. Contact Sally Cook for additional information.

The Building Better Moms at the Church of the Resurrection hosted their annual Budgeting and Buying Basics Event on March 25 for over 90 youths in our community. 30 youths from our Pathways program were able to participate for the first time this year! 

For the event, the youths were paired with a volunteer and were given $100 gift card to be used for necessities after learning how to budget at Walmart. Trey, a case worker at Pathways, said, “The kids really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot about how to budget in a fun way.”

A special thank you to Brent Lewis from Skills & Drills Sports Company Camp II, who returned to the Ozanam Campus for the 2^nd year. Brent went over essential drill work for our youth. We did six stations that focused on controlling the body and ball drills. Then, the youth participated in 7 on 7, which ended all locked up 38-38. Brent also ran a group focused on relationship and team-building skills. After the camp was over, youth enjoyed a healthy dinner prepared by Matt Bennett. Thanks to both of you for putting on such a successful afternoon!

The Sooner or Later volunteer group is back on the Gillis Campus after two years away! This group of volunteers will be helping out every Monday with Hailey and the youth in the Build Trybe culinary cohort.

We need more help in the kitchen! If you would like to volunteer on another night with the culinary cohort, please reach out to haley.lucitt@cornerstonesofcare.org. 

Stock up on plants for your home and garden, while also helping children grow and thrive! Our Plant Sale is so much more than a plant sale, and proceeds funnel right back into our horticulture program. Your purchases help fund seeds, supplies, stipends, and more.

Gather your friends, family, and co-workers and join us for an evening at Topgolf! Tee It Up Fore the Kids will be a fun outing for you and your guests featuring an open bar, a delicious dinner, exciting entertainment, and some Topgolf fun!

Dust off your shoulder pads, tease your hair, and kick it with us old school at our end-of-summer '80s theme dance and fundraiser! Bright Lights Waldo Nights will be a night of fun and games in which our hosts will be competing to be named Most Fly Fundraiser at the dance.

We are looking for volunteers to help make our 2023 Spirit Gala a huge success! We need motivated individuals to help us develop new and innovative fundraising ideas, generate new prospects, solicit items, and assist with local donation pick-ups.

If you are interested in helping out with any of these areas, contact Aubrey Horstmeier at Aubrey.Horstmeier@cornerstonesofcare.org.
