At CORE, we understand the unique challenges faced by families working in the restaurant industry, especially during times of financial crisis due to illness or medical emergencies. Based in Somers, CT, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to food and beverage service employees and their children. Our support helps cover vital expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, funeral costs, and various child needs including childcare, diapers, and formula. We strive to be a beacon of hope for those in need, allowing families to focus on healing and recovery without the burden of financial strain. Former grant recipients are welcome to reapply after 12 months, ensuring that we can support families through multiple challenges while upholding a lifetime cap of $7,500 in assistance. We are here to help our community navigate through difficult times with compassion and practicality.
