Based in Oxnard, CA, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service workers and their families during challenging times, especially when financial hardship arises due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program offers vital financial assistance to help cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs, ensuring that families can focus on recovery and stability. We understand the unique challenges faced by those in the restaurant industry, and we strive to provide timely help with a maximum lifetime assistance cap of $7,500, allowing former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months for ongoing support. By addressing the urgent needs of families in our community, CORE seeks to alleviate some of the burdens during difficult moments, reaffirming our commitment to those who serve others.
