Located in Cape Elizabeth, ME, CORE stands as a vital support system for families working in the restaurant industry facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide compassionate financial assistance that helps ease the burdens of everyday life during challenging times. We cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utility bills, funeral costs, medical supplies, therapy, hospital travel expenses, and childcare needs like diapers and formula. Understanding the unique challenges restaurant employees face, we aim to uplift families by offering financial relief and guidance. Former grant recipients may reapply for assistance after a 12-month period from their previous award, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure continued support for those in need. CORE is committed to standing by food service workers and their families, empowering them to regain stability and hope in their lives.
