Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

At CORE, we understand the unique challenges faced by food and beverage service employees in Kentwood, LA, especially those who are balancing work and family while encountering financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families who need it most, covering expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. Additionally, we support basic child needs like diapers and formula. We are committed to empowering our recipients, offering a lifeline during tough times, and ensuring every application is treated with care. Former grant recipients are encouraged to reapply after 12 months for support related to the same chronic condition or for new qualifying situations, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure sustainability and fairness. CORE is here to help alleviate financial stress for our restaurant community, allowing families to focus on what truly matters.
