Cornerstones

Cornerstones is a nonprofit organization that promotes self-sufficiency by providing support and advocacy for those in need of food, shelter, affordable housing, quality childcare, and other human services. The annual Best of Reston Gala is presented by Cornerstones and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce with proceeds from the celebration benefiting Cornerstones. In its 28th year, the Gala's proceeds support Cornerstone's multiple programs for those in need of food, shelter, affordable housing, quality childcare, and other human services, including the Embry Rucker Community Shelter, transitional housing and the Laurel Learning Center. During Fiscal Year 2018, Cornerstones served approximately 16,920 individuals, including 3,384 families and 6,621 children in northwestern Fairfax County who were experiencing homelessness, living in poverty or facing other needs.
