Opening Doors – Your Support Helped Start 2026 Off Strong

As we enter into the new year, we thank everyone who has supported  Cornerstone during the past few months. Our 2025 Annual Report is in progress, but in the meantime, we want to share good news from our Open the Doors, Light the Way campaign during the holiday season. 

Between October 1st, 2025 and January 15th, 2026, Cornerstone’s supporters gave over $140,000 to open the doors and light the way for families and individuals experiencing homelessness in Chicago. These dollars provided 237 people with food, shelter and care. We cannot do this work without our supporters. You make this possible.  

Our longstanding Christmas traditions continued in December. At Cornerstone, we know the little things matter especially at the holidays. A person needs more than life essentials to thrive. With the help of hundreds of incredible donors and volunteers, Cornerstone’s clients received 1000+ gifts, including new coats for the men’s program, headphones for teenagers, and spa kits and robes for women just to name a few. 

Many thanks to everyone who made Christmas at Cornerstone possible. 

Help us continue this strong start to the year by donating now.
