In Stamford, CT, CORE is dedicated to uplifting food and beverage service employees facing financial challenges resulting from illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to families with children, covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand that unexpected events can strain family resources, which is why we also support needs like therapy, hospital-related expenses, and even funeral costs. We encourage former grant recipients to reapply for assistance after 12 months from their last award, allowing them to seek help for ongoing or new challenges, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure support is accessible and sustainable. At CORE, we are committed to providing not just support, but hope during difficult times for those who serve our communities.
