Cornerstone of Grace Donor Update
Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Hope
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
At Cornerstone of Grace, we believe that true restoration takes a community. From local business supply drives to individuals tutoring, mentoring, or donating essentials like sheet sets, every act of service fuels long-term transformation for women and children in our program.
Here is a look at what God has accomplished through your support this past quarter, and how you can continue partnering with us to build lasting legacies of hope.
Leaving a Footprint: The Power of Legacy Giving
When planning for retirement, Mr. Arthur found himself asking a crucial question: What kind of footprint do I want to leave behind?
Having witnessed Cornerstone of Grace help rebuild lives from the ground up, he knew our focus was on long-term healing rather than short-term fixes. Working alongside his financial advisor, Mr. Arthur designated a portion of his retirement accounts to establish a legacy fund for CSOG.
His planned gift ensures a steady stream of support for generations of women and children to come. Today, seeing his legacy actively transform lives, Mr. Arthur shares that his retirement has become the most joyful season of his life.
90 Days of Impact: By the Numbers
Because of our generous donors, volunteers, and supporters, the past quarter has been filled with tangible growth and spiritual restoration:
7 Women in residential programming across our Tier 1 and Tier 2 housing structures.
11 Children living in safe, stable homes.
7x Weekly daily Bible studies and nightly devotions completed.
12 Total Sessions of weekly individual case management and professional counseling.
5 Women actively employed or seeking career opportunities.
425+ Volunteer Hours lovingly poured into our community.
Every dollar invested directly funds essential needs—ranging from trauma-informed counseling and financial coaching to emergency assistance, daily meals, and safe shelter.
Full Circle Restoration: From Participant to Board Member
True transformation goes far beyond providing a roof overhead—it's about empowering individuals to take control of their future.
We are thrilled to celebrate a former program participant who, after reaching stability in her own life, has returned to take a seat on the Cornerstone of Grace Board of Directors! Bringing firsthand experience of what it takes to rebuild from the ground up, she will help guide our future strategies, ensuring our mission remains deeply connected to the real-world needs of those we serve.
