Located in Sterling, AK, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry facing challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children who are navigating financial hardships, by offering assistance for essential living expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare needs. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can put tremendous strain on families, and CORE is here to help lighten that burden. Former grant recipients can apply again after a 12-month waiting period, allowing continuity of support for those with chronic conditions or new qualifying situations, all while adhering to a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500. With compassion and practical resources, CORE strives to uplift families during their times of need.
