I want to give you an update on what is going on at
Cornerstone during the COVID-19 pandemic.
~Families in need are picking up
food and other items through a drive-through system, always adhering to “social
distancing.”
~No one is allowed in the building
that has a fever or cough; we are providing food, toiletry item, and other supplies
at drive-through pickup.
~Our volunteer Doctors are not
coming in at this time; however, our nursing staff is using tele-medical calls
so our patients can get their medications refilled. Our next cataract surgery
day has been cancelled.
~All meetings are being done by
Zoom or conference calls.
~Contractors are working in the
dental clinic. The dentist has been
hired and is helping with the contractors, as well as interviews for the dental
staff.
The Thrift Store is closed during
this time. The staff is still working, organizing
and taking in donations brought to the dock.
However, because of social distancing, the store isn’t generating any
sales at this time. It usually produces
about $4,000 a week in sales. Because of
our staff’s dedication, we are able to keep things organized so we can more
easily find items our clients need.
~Kay and her staff are currently
working with our contracted auditing firm for our annual audit.
~Right now, we are committed to
keep all staff fully employed and pay them their normal salary, but decreasing
the hours they work so they are able to have less interaction and fewer hours
to become exposed to the virus. We do
have several staff with compromised immune systems that are working from
home.
~Another organization that has been
providing us with 6 workers have laid those workers off for the time being. So, we are short-handed.
~Donations are needed so we can
continue serving those who come in for assistance.
Please keep us in your prayers as
TOGETHER we continue to serve those in need and glorify our Lord and
Savior.
