Located in Portland, CT, CORE provides essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees who have children and are navigating difficult financial times. We offer vital assistance covering a range of expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, therapy, transportation for hospital visits, and childcare needs like diapers and formula. Each family can access up to $7,500 in support throughout their lifetime, with a waiting period of 12 months for previous grant recipients before reapplying. At CORE, we are committed to alleviating the financial strain of working families so they can focus on what matters most—their health and the well-being of their children.
