Located in Washington Navy Yard, DC, CORE is dedicated to supporting families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance to food and beverage service employees with children, covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare needs. We understand the urgency of these situations and strive to help families navigate through difficult times. CORE grants not only support immediate needs like travel and food costs associated with medical care but also ensure that children's necessities, like diapers and formula, are met. Past grant recipients can reapply after 12 months for new assistance, maintaining a limit of $7,500 in total support over their lifetime. Through our compassionate approach, we aim to alleviate financial stress and provide a lifeline to families who need it most.
