Located in Annapolis, MD, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing unexpected hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program offers support for essential expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, hospital-related travel and food expenses, as well as various needs for children such as diapers, formula, and childcare costs. We understand the challenges that service industry employees encounter, and we strive to ease their burdens during difficult times. Former recipients can apply again after a 12-month period has passed since their last award, with a commitment to ensuring that support continues to meet their family's needs. Although assistance is capped at $7,500 over a lifetime, CORE remains a compassionate resource for those seeking help in restoring stability and security in their lives.
