Located in Valley, AL, CORE is dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance to food and beverage service employees facing hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges that families in the restaurant industry endure, and our mission is to alleviate financial burdens during difficult times. Our program offers support for critical expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills and supplies, therapy, hospital-related costs, childcare needs, and even funeral expenses. We carefully consider applications from former CORE grant recipients after 12 months have passed, allowing them to apply for new or ongoing qualifying circumstances, all while ensuring a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500. At CORE, we are committed to being a reliable resource for those who nourish others.
