90% of CORA Neighbors say that getting food from CORA reduces their stress and allows them to have more money for other key expenses like housing, healthcare, and transportation. 

"I just wanted to let you know what a huge weight you have lifted from my mama heart and shoulders. Y’all truly saved me at one of my lowest moments. Bless and thank you all for your wonderful kind and generous spirits."
