At CORE in Gonzales, LA, we are dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial hardships due to illness or a medical emergency. Our compassionate support covers essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs, ensuring that our clients can focus on their recovery without the burden of financial stress. We also assist with travel and food expenses related to hospital visits, and cover necessary supplies like diapers and formula for children. Former grant recipients may apply for assistance again after 12 months, as long as they face qualifying circumstances. With a lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient, our goal is to alleviate immediate financial pressures so families can navigate their challenging times with care and dignity.
