Current Needs

It is a turbulent, scary time for our participants and simply having all of their basic needs met upon arriving at Cornerstone offers comfort and shows we care. We so appreciate our generous community who consistently answers the call for volunteers and in-kind donations. However, we are unable to accept donations of items (dropped off or delivered) at this time with the exception of specific items that are needed for our emergency safe shelter. We are also suspending all volunteer activities through May and assessing future volunteer opportunities on a case-by-case basis to ensure the health and safety of all of our volunteers and to comply with Minnesota’s Stay Safe order. Follow us on Facebook for updates.

Currently, our greatest need is financial contributions so that we can meet the immediate needs of the people we serve. There are many ways to give. Learn more at www.cornerstonemn.org/get-involved/donate.

In-Kind Needs: As of 3/18/2020, we are unable to accept donations of items (dropped off or delivered) at this time with the exception of the below two items.

• Disinfecting wipes
• Thermometers
• Cloth and disposable masks
• Hand sanitizer in pump dispensers
• $20-25 gift cards to big-box stores and grocery stores (Walmart, Target, Cub, etc.) so we can be flexible in meeting the most immediate needs of our participants

The above items may be dropped off at our Bloomington location Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Please email Jennas@cornerstonemn.org once you’ve dropped off a donation so that we may record your gift and properly thank you.
