CORE is dedicated to supporting restaurant industry employees in Durango, CO, who face financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies, particularly those with children. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to alleviate the burdens of everyday living, covering costs like rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare expenses. We understand the challenges of managing both work and family health needs, which is why our program also extends to help with therapy and associated travel costs. While former recipients can reapply for assistance annually, our commitment remains steadfast in ensuring that every family we support feels the care and relief they need during their time of distress. CORE is here to make a difference in the lives of those who serve our community's dining needs, empowering them through tough times with up to $7,500 in assistance over a lifetime.
