At CORE, located in Hollis Center, ME, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees by offering crucial aid for expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, travel costs related to hospital visits, and essential childcare needs. We understand the unique challenges these families face, and our program aims to ease some of the financial burdens during difficult times. Grant recipients may apply for assistance again after a year, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that we can help as many families as possible. CORE stands by our commitment to lifting up those in our community who give so much to others.
