At CORE, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry in Columbia, MD who are facing financial difficulties due to medical emergencies or illnesses. Our mission is to alleviate the burden of unexpected expenses that can arise during challenging times, offering support for a range of needs including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the emotional and financial strain these situations can impose, and we aim to help alleviate that stress by ensuring families have access to critical resources. Each applicant can receive up to $7,500 in assistance, and we encourage those who have been previous recipients to reapply after 12 months for continued support. At CORE, we believe that no family should have to navigate these hardships alone, and we are here to provide a helping hand when it matters most.
