What began as an impulse to support the dire testing needs in Los Angeles in the early stages of the pandemic is now a robust network of COVID-19 relief programs across the U.S. tailored specifically to the communities we serve.
Throughout the pandemic, our relief efforts have been guided by our integrated approach to relief, adapting to the needs of the communities amid changing dynamics.
In working with the existing infrastructure of the communities we serve, we have formed strong partnerships with government agencies, community-based organizations (CBOs), stakeholders, and the private sector to activate and scale our model. To best serve marginalized and hard-to-reach communities, CORE is mobilizing directly to communities across the country with fleets of mobile units administering vaccines, tests, and essential resources.
When We Are Stronger,
We Are Safer.
