Kentucky Cornerstone

Ms. Dora Ross has always had a passion in her heart for serving her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and helping needy people in her community. With all the local industry leaving Lee County and no other jobs available many families were hurting and needed help. This led Ms. Dora to establish Kentucky Cornerstone, Inc in April 1996. She went from church to church telling of the need for help in Lee County and opened her home for Mission Outreach Teams to stay while working on mission projects in the area. She also used her home for distribution of furniture, appliances, clothing and food that churches brought in for the needy.

Today the need continues. According to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training the unemployment rate in January 2012 was at 13.7 percent. Kentucky Cornerstone, Inc. receives many pleas for assistance from the County Health Department and County Welfare Agency. Many of these request are for seniors and shut-ins whose homes are in such poor repair that these agencies have had to get involved.
