At CORE in Mount Airy, MD, we are dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance specifically tailored for families working in the restaurant industry who face unforeseen medical hardships. We understand that illness or emergencies can create significant challenges, and our mission is to alleviate some of that burden by offering support for essential expenses. Our program covers necessities such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, therapeutic services, travel costs for hospital visits, and child-related needs like diapers and childcare. We are here to empower food and beverage service employees and their families, ensuring they have access to the vital resources needed during tough times. While our assistance is designed to provide significant relief, it's important to note that former recipients can reapply after 12 months for any new qualifying circumstances, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that we can help as many families as possible.
