At CORE in Glendale, CA, we stand by families in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide financial assistance to food and beverage service workers with children, helping them manage essential expenses during difficult times. This includes support for rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, therapy, and more. We also assist with children’s needs, such as diapers and formula, as well as childcare costs. Former recipients may reapply after 12 months for new qualifying circumstances or continued support for chronic conditions, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure our assistance reaches as many families as possible. We are dedicated to offering a hand up during challenging times, reflecting our commitment to the community we serve.
