Located in Elkton, MD, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service workers who are facing financial challenges due to medical emergencies or health-related crises. Our mission is to alleviate the burden for families in the restaurant industry by providing essential financial assistance for a variety of urgent needs, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the unique pressures that come with caring for a family during difficult times, which is why our support extends to travel expenses for hospital visits and necessities for children, such as diapers and formula. CORE operates with a compassionate approach, offering grant assistance while recognizing that former recipients may apply again after a year. However, financial support is limited to a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure we can assist as many families as possible. At CORE, we stand by our community with empathy and practical solutions in times of need.
