INTRO 

- OUR MISSION 

We empower 

communities 

in and beyond 

crisis. 

- OUR VISION 

We envision a more 

equitable world in which 

underserved communities 

are prepared and can 

effectively respond to crisis 

from within. 

- OUR VALUES 

Empathy 

We listen, we learn, and then we 

act. Everything we do is driven by 

compassion, respect, inclusion, diversity, 

and equity. 

Community 

It begins our name for a reason. Our 

efforts revolve around the community. 

It’s in our staff, teamwork, collaboration 

with partners, engagement, and our 

integrated approach. 

Resilience 

Like the communities 

we serve, we are 

determined and 

resolute. We exceed 

challenges to get the 

job done. 

Passion 

We are hopeful and 

optimistic. We channel our 

frustration at injustice and 

inequity into action to make 

positive things happen. 

Preparedness 

We are ready to respond at a moment’s 

notice and scale rapidly. We support 

communities to be prepared for the 

future and help them pave a road to 

long-term recovery. 

Adaptability 

We are flexible, nimble, and innovative. 

We are resourceful. We forge creative 

and collaborative solutions and are not 

afraid to rethink traditional methods to 

support those in need.


MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP 

We could never have predicted what this year has 

had in store for us as a country, global community, 

and as an organization. At the beginning of 2020, 

we were run by a team of less than 10 U.S.-based 

staff members. Twelve months later, we are a body 

of over 1,500 volunteers and staff spread across the 

U.S. battling on the frontlines of a global health crisis. 

The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything we’ve 

encountered. We, like the rest of the world, were 

not prepared for a crisis of this magnitude and 

devastation. But as it began to run its calamitous 

course, we had to do something. We couldn’t sit 

idle, knowing that marginalized and vulnerable 

communities are often left to fend for themselves in 

times of crisis. 

CORE sprung forth to do what we know best: 

mobilizing communities within their existing structures to provide support during their greatest 

times of need. Beginning in Los Angeles in March, we began partnering with local governments 

and community partners to administer free tests. Within a matter of weeks, we expanded our 

testing program across California, and then the entire nation, to Georgia, Chicago, Detroit, North 

Carolina, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and the Navajo Nation. 

We listened and learned, and broadened our COVID-19 relief program to revolve around an 

integrated approach inclusive of contact tracing, resource coordination, and supported solutions 

for safe quarantine to provide communities with the holistic relief they need. 

As the most challenging year of our collective lifetimes comes to a close, we are humbled by 

and grateful for your incredible support. It is because of your passionate dedication that CORE is 

able to scale and change with the evolving landscape of this crisis. Your generosity and care for 

underserved communities continues to inspire hope for what we can accomplish together. 

As a new year dawns, our work to protect the most underserved and at-risk communities is far 

from over. The coming year will hold some of our most important and urgent work yet. And once 

again, we can’t do it alone. Together, we will meet this challenge and emerge with a deeper 

commitment to our mission. 

On behalf of all those we serve, we thank you for your steadfast support. 

With gratitude, 

Sean Penn & Ann Lee 

Co-founders, CORE

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

In March 2020, CORE partnered with the 

City of LA, the Mayor’s Office, and LAFD 

to begin taking over operations at testing 

sites across Los Angeles and allow first 

responders to return to their vital work in 

the community. By the end of April, CORE 

was administering over 6,000 tests per 

day citywide. 

By May 2020, CORE was operating the 

largest testing site in the U.S. in the 

parking lot of Dodger Stadium, which at 

its height could test 13,000 people daily. 

At peak operations, CORE administered 

over 40,000 tests per day in Los 

Angeles alone and thousands more in 

communities across the U.S. 

In addition to sustained efforts with 

Haiti Takes Root, the School of Hope, 

reconstructing the Faculty of Sciences 

Department building, and other legacy 

programs, CORE provided tailored 

COVID-19 relief in Haiti, working with 

communities through education, 

establishing water stations, and 

distributing hygiene kits to support safety 

in markets and neighborhoods. 

In the void of a unified approach to 

battling the pandemic in the U.S., CORE 

developed “The CORE 8” as guidelines 

for an integrated approach to combatting 

COVID-19 for both government and 

citizens. CORE also created guides for 

widespread replication on how to run 

community-based testing operations and 

a site manager’s manual based on lessons 

learned on the frontlines. 

To best serve hard-hit and at-risk 

communities, CORE adapted its 

operations from fixed sites to mobilize 

directly to these communities with a fleet 

of nimble mobile units providing testing 

and wraparound services, such as food, 

PPE, and unemployment resources. 

As protestors took to the streets against 

police brutality and racial injustice, CORE 

stationed mobile units in Washington, 

D.C., and Georgia to provide free 

COVID-19 testing to those exercising their 

civic right to safely protest. 

Through an integrated approach of testing, contact 

tracing, and essential resource coordination, CORE 

and its partners helped flatten the curve and slow 

the rapid spread of COVID-19 on the Navajo Nation, 

which was one of the hardest-hit regions in the world in the spring. In 2020, CORE distributed 30,000 hygiene 

kits and built 100 shelters to proactively shield Diné elders and vulnerable family members in overcrowded 

households from COVID-19.

LLOYD BILLY 

Family is everything 

in Diné culture. 

For Lloyd Billy, when a piece of his everything was stolen by COVID-19, 

he was determined to do something. 

In the spring of 2020, no place was hit harder by COVID-19 in the 

United States than Navajo Nation. The 17.5 million-acre Indigenous 

territory, which spans across the Southwest, held the nation’s highest 

case positivity and death ratios. It was during that devastating first 

wave that Lloyd Billy lost his sister.

“I came on this job for a reason,” 

said Lloyd. “I had to do something. 

I’m a carpenter and I love 

building. I was so happy to find 

this job because I could finally do 

something to help. This is what I do 

and this is what I’m about.” 

“Her whole family got it, but the rest of 

them recovered. She went to the hospital 

and stayed there for a month, then she got 

worse,” said Lloyd. “That was one of the 

worst feelings, being so helpless. You can’t 

visit, you can’t comfort her.” 

A month after the tragic loss of his kin, 

Lloyd joined CORE as head foreman of the 

Shielding Shelter team building shelters to 

provide multigenerational, overcrowded 

houses with auxiliary space to proactively 

shield elders and vulnerable family members 

from COVID-19 and quarantine when 

needed. 

With our partners at the Navajo government, 

Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian 

Health, Protect the Sacred, and other local 

organizations, CORE’s integrated relief 

efforts helped flatten the curve and slow the 

rapid spread of COVID-19 on the reservation 

through a combination of testing, tracing, 

and wraparound services, including 

shelters and hygiene kits, to address 

widespread lack of infrastructure. 

The success of the efforts was fueled 

by inspired local staff, who worked 

tirelessly to provide resources to protect 

their fellow Diné community members, 

especially their beloved elders, and keep 

their culture alive during the pandemic. 

For many, like Lloyd, it was more than a 

job. It was everything. 

“I want each shelter to be the best it can 

be for these families. When I see the 

purpose of something then I pour all my 

effort into it,” Lloyd said. “If it comes from 

your heart, you don’t get tired as fast. If 

your mindset is there, physically it just 

comes naturally. And when you love what 

you’re doing, time flies.”

CHRISTY NYEING 

For Christy Nyeing, 

community is at the 

heart of who she is. 

Christy’s childhood was marked by extreme adversity. She grew up in a refugee camp in 

Thailand, where she and her family had no electricity, no access to healthcare and suffered 

from malnutrition. Her mother abandoned their family and Christy had to step up to raise 

her younger sister and two younger brothers. While Christy’s father worked, she cleaned, 

cooked and managed the household. But Christy didn’t do it alone. 

“I always had help from the camp community,” said Christy. “We were there for each other 

no matter what. Despite all the challenges we faced, I always felt so grateful for that. They 

were my family.” 

This compassion is what inspired Christy to pursue a career in health education when 

she came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2011. It is also why she joined CORE to work on the 

frontlines at a COVID-19 testing site in Georgia. 

“When the pandemic hit, I immediately wanted to do everything I could to help my 

community and pay forward the kindness I had received as a child,” Christy said. “I am so 

happy I have the opportunity to give back and play a role fighting the biggest health crisis 

of our time.” 

Christy saw a CORE job posting for a Burmese speaker and joined the team immediately 

in the summer of 2020. As a full-time student at Georgia State University studying 

public health, she worked in between classes, helping the CORE team at the Clarkston 

site translate for Myanmar refugees who needed COVID tests. Clarkston is a small town 

in DeKalb County that is home to refugees from over 60 countries, including Bhutan, 

Eritrea, Somalia, Liberia and Vietnam. Because of Christy’s background, she was uniquely 

positioned to provide access to CORE’s life-saving services for this underserved and 

vulnerable population. 

Christy currently works with CORE Georgia as an Assistant Site Manager on one of CORE’s 

DeKalb County mobile units. This site offers free COVID-19 tests and vaccinations for highrisk 

communities.

“This work is so incredibly 

fulfilling,” Christy said. “But it’s 

also an opportunity for me to 

learn from and network with 

healthcare professionals. It’s my 

goal to return to Thailand after 

college so I can teach health 

classes at refugee camps like the 

one where I grew up. As part of 

the CORE team, I feel like I am 

one step closer to realizing that 

dream every day.”

CARLOS BURGOS 

In 2020, life was 

flipped upsidedown 

for people across the world. It was too for Carlos Burgos, in a 

way he never could have imagined when he was living on Skid 

Row. 

What Carlos thought would be a short break became over a 

decade of homelessness, addiction, stab and bullet wounds, 

jail visits, daily struggles to find food, and long nights sleeping 

in a tent with one eye open, awaking some mornings with all his 

belongings gone.


“It had me hit rock bottom. I was there, feeling 

hopeless without my family, struggling every 

day,” said Carlos. “Skid Row was kind of like 

quicksand, where you struggle to get out and 

you just can’t.” 

When Carlos’ legal troubles had him on the 

cusp of being sent to a federal penitentiary, 

he enrolled in a START (Substance Treatment 

and Re-entry Transition) program in jail, which 

he refers to as a “reset button.” Little by little, 

he started to reclaim his life, getting an ID for 

the first time in a decade, obtaining financial 

support through General Relief, and moving into 

a sober living home. 

When the pandemic hit, Carlos joined CORE 

to fight on the frontlines at COVID-19 testing 

sites across Los Angeles, including the nation’s 

largest site at Dodger Stadium. He also joined 

CORE’s mobile unit serving the Skid Row 

community alongside LAFD. 

“It’s been incredible 

to give back and 

be a part of a 

group of people 

coming together 

to shut down this 

pandemic. The 

energy is amazing.” 

“It’s been incredible to give back and be a part 

of a group of people coming together to shut 

down this pandemic. The energy is amazing,” 

said Carlos. “Being with CORE, I feel what it 

is to really be a team, being able to count on 

the person next to you. It’s like having family, 

and that’s something that I really never had. 

CORE has been the one that has given me that 

chance. In my mind, in my heart, because of 

CORE I’ve been able to grow and become a 

great person.” 

As he focuses on furthering his recovery and 

personal growth, Carlos’ ambitions continue 

to burgeon, from having a family and owning 

a house, to furthering his education and 

continuing to support the community he 

called home for many years. Above all, he 

wants to inspire others. 

“I would like everyone to remember me as a 

person that hit rock bottom and changed his 

life for the best,” said Carlos. “A person that, 

through all the things he’s been through, still 

loves life and really cares about others. And 

a person that is willing to go the extra mile to 

make things happen, not only for myself but 

for others. A person that could. That did.”
