Cornerstone Cares
Cornerstone Cares is an opportunity for our elementary students and their families to walk beside those in our community to lend a helping hand and offer the tangible love of Jesus. As we reach out to those who have needs that we can meet in some way, our prayer is they will see the light of Jesus and give Him the glory.
Cornerstone has chosen to partner with Rise Against Hunger in their efforts to eliminate hunger in all corners of the globe. Throughout the school year, our students raise money with the goal of packing over 13,000 meals for those in need. The culmination of our efforts is a day in the spring which is set aside for our elementary students, along with their parent(s), to pack meals at the Rise Against Hunger warehouse in Marietta.
“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” Hebrews 13:16
What is Rise Against Hunger?
Rise Against Hunger is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. Their vision is a world without hunger.
Rise Against Hunger works in countries worldwide to fight hunger, targeting communities facing high rates of food insecurity. They provide volunteer-packaged meals and other assistance, often through school feeding programs, to support nutrition, education and health for children and families facing hunger right now. They also partner with local leaders to implement sustainable agriculture and income-generating projects that support long-term solutions to food security and empower communities to become self-reliant and thrive.
