Based in Farmington, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique struggles that food and beverage service employees encounter, especially when caring for children. Our program offers support for critical expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. Additionally, we assist with funeral expenses and essential child needs such as diapers and formula. We empower families to navigate tough situations with compassion by allowing former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months for ongoing or new qualifying circumstances, ensuring they have access to up to $7,500 in aid throughout their journey. CORE is here to lift the burden and provide the resources necessary for families to thrive amidst adversity.
