CORE - Community Organized Relief Effort

With established operations already in place in #Syria, CORE is continuing to coordinate with Ihsan Relief and Development, our trusted local partner, to support these vulnerable families with cash assistance. Your support helps us move faster & reach more people.

Since military escalations began in the region, at least 100,000 Syrian families have fled Lebanon and crossed the border into #Syria to escape ongoing bombing. Many have left behind their homes, belongings, and even loved ones in search of safety.

A few days ago, CORE team member Kinan shared a moving account of what he’s seeing in Damascus, #Syria.

Thank You, #TeamCORE This year, an incredible group of runners took on the 2026 @lamarathon in support of CORE — and together, we raised $18,000 to benefit Angelenos. We are so grateful to every runner who laced up their shoes and ran with purpose. @JD_Slajchert

When war broke out in Ukraine, Ihor joined the military to defend his country. After being discharged, he turned that dream into reality. With support from CORE, he’s one of 290 entrepreneurs who received training grants to grow their businesses. youtu.be/OAqU543GBa4

Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is. You have stood with Ukraine since the first day of the full-scale war. This is still true today. And we know that you will continue to stand with our country and our people.

CORE has already been working in #Syria following the long war and is positioned to provide returning and displaced families, especially women-led families, with cash assistance to help them with urgent needs.

The Middle East emergency has resulted in mass displacement with many families crossing borders - there’s a startling 250% increase in Syrians returning to the country from Lebanon for safety. But after 10 years of war and destroyed neighborhoods across the #Syria.
