OUR VISION

What if?
People around you do everything they can to acknowledge you. They greet you by name, shake your hand, make eye contact, maybe give you a hug.

What if?
People you encounter make it a point to show their appreciation for you and the things you do. You are thanked, complimented and encouraged.

What if?
People around you pay attention to you. They find ways to be helpful and kind. They attend to your basic needs. They ask for your opinions, your hopes and your dreams.

What if?
The same people who acknowledge, appreciate and attend to you demonstrate by their actions that they respect and accept you unconditionally.

Cornerstone is working to become a place where people know that they matter by the way they are acknowledged, appreciated, and have their needs attended to.

We believe that hope generates action and action leads to change. We do this work because we believe everyone deserves to know that they matter. That’s why we call our vision “You Matter”.

OUR HISTORY

Cornerstone Foundations for Families began as Family Service Agency of Adams County on November 6, 1947. It was through the hard work and perseverance of Fabiola Moorman and Jean Suhren, the first board president, that the city of Quincy and Adams County recognized the need for a social service agency. Our founders worked hard to ensure that Family Service Agency was off to a good start. In 2002, our name changed to Cornerstone Foundation for Families.

Over the years, Cornerstone has grown and changed as the needs of the community have changed. Cornerstone is licensed by the state of Illinois as a child welfare agency, providing a variety of family support and counseling services.
