Joliet Public Library to Collect Giving Tree Donations for Cornerstone Services

The Joliet Public Library will be hosting a Giving Tree and collecting donations for Cornerstone Services beginning November 27 until December 31. 

Donated items ranged from art supplies, board games, puzzles and craft items. All of the items requested benefit individuals who receive services from Cornerstones programs. 

Cornerstone provides progressive, comprehensive services for people with disabilities, promoting choice, dignity and the opportunity to live and work in the community. Visit https://www.cornerstoneservices.org/about-us/  for more information.

Mallory Hewlett, Communications Manager at the Joliet Public Library, organized the Giving Tree.

“We host the Giving Trees every year during the holiday season at both locations,” said Hewlett. “Our Library is committed to partnering with other organizations in our area to provide supplies that promote learning and growth. It is also a great way to give back to our great community.”

Megan Millen, Executive Director at the Joliet Public Library says community involvement is one way the Library reaches different corners of Joliet. 

“Both patrons and staff enjoy our Giving Tree,” said Millen. “We are happy to partner with Cornerstone Services this year to support their mission and programs.”
