One way to support Cornerstone Center for the Arts is to donate your used ink cartridges. We can use Dell, HP, and Lexmark cartridges. We turn these cartridges into Staples for $3.00 coupons which cuts down on what we have to spend on office supplies. If you have any you would like to donate, please bring them to the Education Office at the Cornerstone building.
