In the heart of Sarasota, FL, CORE is dedicated to uplifting employees of the food and beverage service industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance that alleviates some of the burdens during these difficult times. We cover essential expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, and necessary supplies for children, such as diapers and formula. Additionally, we offer support for childcare costs and travel expenses related to medical care. Eligible individuals may apply for assistance after a year from their last award, ensuring that support remains available when it's needed most. With a lifetime cap of $7,500 per grant recipient, CORE is here to empower restaurant workers and their families in navigating life's challenges with dignity and hope.
