In Ellington, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees by covering essential expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs, including diapers and formula. We understand the challenges that families endure during tough times, which is why our program is designed to alleviate some of that burden and offer peace of mind. Former grant recipients can apply for assistance again after a year, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure we can help as many families as possible. At CORE, we are committed to empowering restaurant industry workers and their families during their most challenging moments.
