Whatever you do best, we probably need it, and the families we serve will feel the impact.

Faith communities have always been the backbone of volunteer service. Nationally, about 20 million Americans volunteer through faith-based organizations each year, yet many centers (including ours) are finding it harder than ever to recruit enough helping hands.

That’s where you come in.

At our Elyria and Cleveland locations, volunteers typically support office staff, help with cleaning and maintenance, assist with special events, and serve as patient advocates. Whether your strength is organizing, listening, teaching, or simply showing up, your time matters.

Every role is important. Every hour helps a parent feel less alone.

Ladies, who was the first person you told when you found out you were expecting?

Now imagine they weren’t in your life at the time.

We exist because for so many women in Lorain and Cuyahoga counties there isn’t a compassionate, listening ear helping them realistically think through their options.

Without that, how might your pregnancy experience have changed?

A few years ago, we were honored to welcome Dr. Evans as a banquet speaker. His words still inspire our mission today: every person is created with infinite worth and deserves compassion and care.

Join us in carrying this vision forward as we serve families every day.

If you’ve never experienced pregnancy, terms like full-term or preterm can sound like medical jargon. But for someone who’s just found out they’re expecting, understanding these words can make all the difference.

At Cornerstone, a huge part of our mission is client education. We meet women at one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, and we guide them through information that can feel overwhelming. That includes explaining what it really means when a doctor says “full-term,” why a baby arriving early might be called “preterm,” and how these details affect both mom and baby.

Because of donors like you, we can offer this kind of education and resources every day, both in-center, and online, free of charge.

Your generosity ensures that each client leaves with more than answers; she leaves empowered to make confident decisions for her pregnancy and her future.

The best advice for new parents is __________.

We’ve all received parenting advice at some point; sometimes we’ve asked for it, sometimes it was shared, ready or not!

Here at Cornerstone, we’ve heard it all, both the wonderful, encouraging advice...anddddd the kind that makes you smile politely and move on. 🙃

What matters most to us is making sure new parents feel supported and encouraged as they step into parenthood.

Fall is about letting go and stepping forward.

The change of seasons is more than weather. For many women who walk through our doors, it means releasing old routines and facing new realities. These new realities may be about finances, sharing the news with family, or even beginning motherhood.

Your support makes their next step possible.

It's more than just helping us manage higher utility costs as the temperatures drop; your donations fund advanced training so our team can give each woman compassionate, up-to-date care. Because of your support, when these moms begin a new chapter, they aren’t doing it alone.

Pink and blue = remembrance. 💗💙

October is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, and on October 15th, our office paused to remember the little ones gone too soon and the families who carry their memory every day.

As a Cornerstone supporter, your generosity provides compassionate care and a listening ear for parents walking through unimaginable grief.

💜 Will you join us right now?

Stop and pray for families in our community who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

Comment below with a word of encouragement or a short prayer to remind these parents that they are not alone.

Thank you for helping us bring hope and comfort when words are hard to find.

No Cheating! Click “See More” below to reveal the answer:

--

Most babies go through about 2,500–3,000 diapers in their first year...roughly 6 to 8 diapers every single day. 🤯

That’s why diaper donations are always a critical need at Cornerstone. Your gifts keep parents from facing an impossible choice between buying diapers and paying other essential bills.

Think $1 can't make a difference? Think again.

If every one of our Facebook followers added just $1 per week/$52 per year to their ongoing support, that would create $52,000 of extra help every year for every thousand followers on our social channels. That's enough to fund dozens of ultrasounds, pregnancy and STI tests, parenting classes, open houses, and more.

Your steady generosity already changes lives.
That tiny extra step could change even more.

Why We Give 🩵💜

Every hour volunteered. Every dollar donated. Every prayer lifted.
Here’s 10 reasons why we keep showing up for moms, dads, and babies in our community:

Because every parent deserves a safe, judgment-free place to turn.

Because no woman should hear “you’re pregnant” and feel completely alone.

Because babies thrive when parents are supported from the very start.

Because practical help...diapers, classes, ultrasounds...changes lives today, not just tomorrow.

Because compassion speaks louder than opinions.

Because families in Lorain and Cuyahoga counties need a listening ear.

Because hope grows when the community shows up together.

Because serving others reminds us of the best in ourselves.

Because every life has value and dignity.

Because love is an action word.

Your support takes families further than you can imagine, now let’s turn it into an adventure!

3️⃣ Check off each stamp as you complete it (use your phone’s markup tool or simply keep track in your head).

4️⃣ When you’ve filled your passport (or made great progress), post it to your feed or story and tag us so we can celebrate with you!

Every action (big or small) helps local moms and babies receive the care and hope they deserve. 🩵💜
