Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Based in Morgan City, LA, CORE offers vital financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry who face economic challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique struggles that food and beverage service employees encounter, especially when balancing work and parenting. Our support includes covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, and medical bills, as well as therapy, hospital travel, and childcare needs like diapers and formula. We are committed to helping those who have experienced hardship find a pathway to stability, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 for grant recipients to ensure that our resources are equitably distributed among those in need. Individuals who have previously received assistance can apply again after a 12-month period, providing ongoing support as circumstances evolve. At CORE, we strive to alleviate financial pressures so that families can focus on their health and well-being during difficult times.
