Thank you to everyone involved!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to everyone involved in Cornerstone's 2023 Adopt-A-Family Program. We had incredible support over every facet of this project, from our generous adopters, to our hardworking gift wrappers, and finally our advocates and staff for facilitating wish lists and distributing the gifts. As a result, we are so happy to announce that we were able to provide gifts for 83 families this year.

Thank you to our adopters—we had 43 different individuals, groups, and families provide gifts this year. This program would not be possible without your generosity!

We also had many groups and individuals donate their time to come to Cornerstone to help wrap the gifts. A huge thank you to our dedicated individuals and the following groups for their hard work gift wrapping:

Optum
Newcomers of the Southwest Suburbs
Tushie Montgomery Architects
Laides Acts of Random Kindness (LARK)

All of this support of the Adopt-A-Family program made the holidays brighter for Cornerstone's families. Please know how much we appreciate your generosity and your partnership in this work. Wishing a healthy and safe 2024 to you and yours. Thank you!
