At CORE in New Fairfield, CT, we recognize the unique challenges faced by food and beverage service employees and their families during difficult times. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to those experiencing hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. We cover a variety of critical expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, funeral costs, and childcare needs. Understanding the pressing nature of these challenges, we strive to provide support with care and urgency. Once a family receives assistance, they may reapply after 12 months if they face new qualifying circumstances, with a lifetime maximum of $7,500 in support. CORE is here to ensure that financial burdens do not overshadow the well-being of our restaurant community and their children.
