Our Story
In 2013 East Texas Cornerstone Assistance Network received its nonprofit status as a 501(c)3 social services agency. Cornerstone is a unique agency that works with clients on a referral only basis. When one of our partner organizations discovers a person they believe is ready to move ahead in their life they send the client to us. Cornerstone discovers the client’s most pressing need and partners with the referring organization to meet that need.

Our Partners
IN OUR BUILDING
Cornerstone is excited to be in a wonderfully big building where we occupy the ground floor while we make our upstairs space available to other nonprofits at a minimal charge. This gives them a wonderful work space, plus our receptionists work to meet their needs as well as serving Cornerstone clients. Currently we are hosting fifteen other groups in our building.
CHURCHES
Since opening our doors we have been blessed to partner with over forty churches throughout East Texas. Some send us people in need, some give monthly or annual contributions, some contribute to our special drives; but we count on all of them to pray for us faithfully.
BUSINESSES
Whether serving as sponsors of our No Run Run, our Annual Luncheon, or collecting toys for our Christmas Store we are deeply appreciative of the many businesses who give generously to transform lives through East Texas Cornerstone Assistance Network.
