Hi friends, Well we are certainly all becoming accustomed to frequent change! Like many organisations and workplaces, Cornerstone has had to adapt our programs and processes in order to keep our community and team as safe as possible while we go through these stage 4 restrictions. This has meant suspending our community meal programs, and ramping up our food parcel service, along with finding new and creative ways to care for people and nurture community. One of the biggest changes we have seen is the demographic of people contacting us for assistance. Many international students, asylum seeker families and low-income families have been reaching out for support. As we brace ourselves for the long-term impact of local job losses and the reduction of Job Keeper and Job Seeker payments, we anticipate that we are only going to get busier. One way that we are seeking assistance at the moment is through in-kind support. . Thank you again for your support. The donations, prayers and encouragement of each of you is invaluable. I pray that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy as we navigate these challenging times. Blessings, Naomi Paterson
