Located in Cortez, Colorado, CORE is dedicated to empowering families within the restaurant industry who face financial difficulties due to medical emergencies or illnesses. Our mission is to alleviate the burden on food and beverage service employees with children by providing essential financial assistance for various needs, including rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, funeral expenses, medical supplies, and childcare costs. We understand that times can be tough, and our support is designed to help ease the strain during challenging moments. Eligible grant recipients can receive up to $7,500 throughout their lifetime, and former recipients can reapply after a year for continued support, whether for the same or a different qualifying circumstance. At CORE, we believe in a compassionate approach to ensuring that families can focus on their health and well-being as they navigate the challenges of life.
