Based in Colorado Springs, CO, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to food and beverage service employees with children who find themselves facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to alleviate the burden on working families by offering support for critical expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, childcare costs, and more. We understand the unique challenges that restaurant employees encounter, and that’s why CORE aims to step in during these challenging times. Former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after a 12-month period, ensuring ongoing support for those impacted by chronic conditions or new qualifying circumstances. With a lifetime cap of $7,500, CORE remains committed to empowering individuals and families within the restaurant industry to regain stability and hope during difficult moments.
