Located in Putnam, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry facing hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by covering critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the unique challenges that come with working in this sector, and through our careful, caring approach, we help alleviate the burdens of unexpected financial strain. Former grant recipients may apply for assistance again after 12 months, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure comprehensive support for as many families as possible. CORE is here to help families navigate the complexities of financial need during difficult times, fostering resilience and recovery.
