Dining with Dignity

This past month, Cornerstone’s Cafeteria had its grand reopening!

After two months of nonstop construction, Cornerstone’s cafeteria has emerged from the dust better than ever before. With the hard work and financial support of Republic Services and Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago, we were able to elevate our cafeteria in a major way. See the photos below for a before and after!

At Cornerstone, we know that for homelessness affects so much more than just where you sleep at night. For many, homelessness comes with overwhelming feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy, and many people feel or are possibly even told that they are less worthy of good things. We at Cornerstone believe that every single one of our clients is worthy of experiencing good and beautiful things, and one of the ways we want to recognize that is by striving to make their cafeteria experience a dignifying one. 

We aren’t stopping here, either. Our Dining With Dignity program includes upgrading our furniture, flooring, lighting, and sound ambiance in order to make this the best dining experience possible for our clients. Donate to Cornerstone Community Outreach to support this vision!
