There were other JUST 395 students working simultaneously at Cornerstone Community Outreach, however I only had the opportunity to work with Adrian on one occasion. Together we assisted the kitchen staff to prepare dinner for the shelter residents. Other than the one interaction, I worked individually on this project.

Approaching our service project was an experience of heightened anxiety for me, however spending my time at Cornerstone Community Outreach was immensely rewarding. Located at 4628 N. Clifton Ave., CCO was founded in 1989 to raise the quality of life for low-income and homeless residents in the Uptown area of Chicago, with a focus on transitional housing. From 2012 to 2015, Cornerstone has helped 780 homeless families and individuals successfully move into permanent housing, proving to be vastly effective at providing in-between shelter as a stepping-stone. Between November 1st and 15th, I had the pleasure of spending twenty hours alongside CCO’s hardworking volunteers and gracious residents. I spent most of my time in the kitchen preparing, cleaning, and serving food, however I also had the opportunity to work at the food pantry, make signs for an upcoming talent show, sort through donations, assemble furniture, and other random tasks around the outreach.

Below is an infographic I created about CCO and its services. I urge others to visit www.ccolife.org and get involved with this organization.
