Cornerstone Community Services is a testament to the belief that hope, change and light should be just around the corner for those in need. As a dedicated social foundation, our mission is clear:
to seek out the lonely corners of Singapore, and do whatever we can to serve there.
In our 26 years, we’ve seen many of our beneficiaries turn their corners and be able to improve their lives through our programmes. From family life education to financial aid, our social services reflect our commitment to all our beneficiaries. These initiatives would be impossible without our donors, partners and volunteers.
Together with them and your help through giving or volunteering, we can bring real hope, change, and light to even more out there.

Social Enterprises
The Barn & CornerStore
Our impact is illustrated best in our social enterprises, The Barn, a volunteer-run thrift shop & CornerStore, a convenience and snack shop.
More than shops — they are a platform of empowerment, opportunity, and community engagement. The Barn is also an example of environment sustainability where pre-loved goods are donated by members of the public and sold back to the community at an affordable price to fund our welfare programmes for vulnerable groups.
