At CORE, we are dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry in Saint Marys, AK, especially those grappling with the challenges of a medical emergency or illness. Our program focuses on supporting food and beverage service employees who also have children, addressing critical financial burdens to help families stay afloat during tough times. We cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, childcare costs, and much more, ensuring that families do not have to choose between their health and financial stability. While our generous support is limited to a lifetime cap of $7,500, we encourage former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months, whether for ongoing medical conditions or new qualifying situations. CORE is committed to making a difference in the lives of those who serve our communities every day.
