Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Operating in Santa Cruz, CA, CORE is dedicated to providing urgent financial assistance for families who work in the restaurant industry and are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the challenges that come with unexpected medical costs, and we’re here to help by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, childcare costs, and more. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children, ensuring they can navigate tough times with a bit of relief.
