In Waimea, HI, CORE is dedicated to supporting families in the restaurant industry who face financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges that food service employees encounter, and we provide vital financial assistance to help cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. Our mission is to alleviate the burden during crisis times, ensuring that families can focus on healing and caring for their loved ones without the added stress of financial worry. Each grant recipient can reach out for support once 12 months have passed since their last award, with a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500 to ensure that aid is provided fairly and effectively. At CORE, we are committed to offering a helping hand to those who have dedicated their lives to serving our communities.
