At CORE in Bar Harbor, ME, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face economic challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer a helping hand during difficult times, covering crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the specific needs of our community, and therefore provide targeted support for necessities like diapers and formula, as well as travel costs related to hospital visits. We invite former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months for assistance, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure we can help as many families as possible. With compassion at our core, CORE is here to uplift restaurant workers and their families when they need it most.
