Volunteers joined us at 63rd Street Beach to test the water quality of Lake Michigan, measure beach health and remove trash from our shoreline.  We also helped rebuild the boardwalk to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

Families joined us for a beautiful spring day at Indian Road Woods. We rebuilt a nature trail along the Chicago River to prevent erosion and protect native species.  We watched a deer walk our trail and found a snake that was thought by some to resemble a boa.

Did you know that more than 100,000 people were homeless in Chicago this year?   Help support Cornerstone’s emergency outreach efforts by making sleeping mats for the homeless.  We’ll make yarn from recycled plastic bags to weave into mats.
