At CORE, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry in Belfast, ME, who are facing challenges due to medical emergencies or illnesses. Our program supports food and beverage service employees with children by covering crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and child-related costs including diapers and childcare. We understand that difficult times can arise unexpectedly, and we aim to alleviate some of the burdens faced by these families when they need help the most. Former recipients can reapply for support after 12 months, ensuring that we remain a reliable resource for those grappling with ongoing medical conditions or new qualifying circumstances. A lifetime cap of $7,500 ensures that we can continue to assist multiple families in need, reinforcing our commitment to the welfare of our restaurant community.
