In Kahului, HI, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing difficult times due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges these workers encounter, and our mission is to offer support during their toughest moments. Our program covers a range of critical expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, medical costs, therapy, travel for hospital visits, and even childcare essentials like diapers and formula. We strive to alleviate financial burdens, ensuring that these families can focus on what truly matters—their health and the well-being of their children. Recipients of CORE assistance may reapply after a full year, and while we aim to provide meaningful help with a lifetime cap of $7,500, our commitment is to empower our grant recipients during crises so they can take the necessary steps toward recovery and stability.
