At CORE, based in Fairfield, CT, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children during challenging times by offering vital resources for expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, transportation, and essential childcare needs. We understand the urgency of these situations and strive to deliver assistance with compassion and efficiency. Eligible families can receive a lifetime cap of $7,500 in support, with opportunities to reapply after 12 months if circumstances persist. CORE is here to help navigate these tough times, empowering families to regain stability and peace of mind.
