ROOTED in compassion, CORE stands ready to lend a helping hand to restaurant industry families in Watertown, CT who are enduring financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance to food and beverage service employees with children, ensuring they have support during challenging times. We cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, hospital-related costs, and child-related needs, including childcare. While our assistance is capped at a lifetime maximum of $7,500, we encourage former recipients to reapply for help after a full year has passed since their last award. CORE is dedicated to empowering families by alleviating financial burdens so they can focus on healing and stability.
