Located in North Pole, DC, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our focused efforts support food and beverage service employees and their children, covering essential expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, and travel expenses related to hospital visits. Additionally, we assist with necessities for children, such as diapers, formula, and childcare costs. Former grant recipients can seek support again after a minimum of 12 months, and assistance has a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure we help as many families as possible. CORE stands by those who serve our communities, offering a lifeline during some of life's toughest moments.
