How do we define relief?
Anything that relieves poverty, suffering, or hardship. Relief can come in the form of education, economic empowerment, food, material donations, medical aid, or disaster assistance.
How did we begin?
CORE was established in 2005 by two churches from Houston, Texas to assist in meeting the needs of people hit by Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast area. Ultimately, CORE housed nearly 9000 volunteers coming from all over the US and several countries as they rallied to provide relief to Mississippi citizens.
