Located in Gray, ME, CORE is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to restaurant industry workers and their families facing financial difficulties due to medical emergencies or illnesses. Our mission is to alleviate financial stress by covering necessary expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the unique challenges faced by food and beverage service employees and aim to support them during their time of need. Families can apply for assistance after 12 months from their last award, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that resources are fairly distributed to those in need. CORE is here to help ease your burdens so you can focus on recovery and caring for your family.
