Happy Thanksgiving!
Cornerstones of Care served over 90 kiddos this year. This was thanks to volunteers, donors, amazing staff, and Keystone Methodist Church in Waldo. The van delivered meals to our youth in the community. On our Ozanam campus Xavier Worthy, Build Trybe ambassadors, and some good friends had a party with our kiddos.
Happy holidays!!

Thank you Sid at for another beautiful day in the woods. We checked on the mushroom treatment at Kessler Park that slowly kills an invasive tree and brings food for the deers. We also planted cloves of garlic just in time for the cooler weather.
