## Story

CORE is a national nonprofit dedicated to serving food and beverage operations employees with children to provide financial relief when either the employee or their child faces a health crisis, injury, death, or natural disaster. CORE’s grants average $2,500 and pay for things like mortgage, rent or car payments.

“We are incredibly honored to be able to offer our support to CORE and the families they serve. You never know when a crisis will strike, so it is comforting to have a valuable resource like CORE available to provide critical assistance during challenging times,” said Robert Phillips, president of California Tortilla for California Tortilla. “We invite our customers to join us in these efforts.”

The free taco offer is available only to Burrito Elito guests. The offer may be redeemed through December 7, 2022.
