In Oakdale, LA, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by alleviating the financial burdens that accompany unexpected challenges. We cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, therapy, hospital travel and food costs, and childcare needs, ensuring that families can focus on healing rather than financial distress. While we recognize that previous recipients may seek help again after a 12-month period, we maintain a compassionate approach to each case. With a lifetime cap of $7,500 on assistance per recipient, CORE is committed to helping as many families as possible navigate difficult times with care and understanding.
