In the heart of New Orleans, LA, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees with children who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to those in need, covering essential costs such as rent, utilities, medical bills, therapy, funeral expenses, and childcare needs like diapers and formula. We understand the unique pressures that arise in the restaurant industry, and our goal is to ensure that families have the resources they need during difficult times. Former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per individual to ensure we can help as many families as possible. CORE stands firmly beside those who serve our communities, offering compassionate support when it matters most.
