CORE Music Foundation primarily facilitates music, creative writing, and educational workshops, literacy, and arts programming, food sharing, and social events. We feed mind, body, and soul and use the arts to inspire life, transmit joy, and creatively emit goodness to people and planet earth. Year to date, all of our offerings have been free to participants. From January 2005 through December 2020, we have fundraised a total of $255,982.93 to fund all of our free charitable programs. We have provided over 100 part-time jobs to teens and adults, provided 39,782 free meals, and delivered over 500 boxes of free food to those in need. As we make modifications to continue programming in new and creative ways, we ask for your help in maintaining our cause. Donate any amount here.
