Based in Kennebunkport, ME, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges that food and beverage service employees encounter, especially when it comes to caring for their children during tough times. Our support covers a wide range of expenses including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, therapy costs, and needed supplies for children, such as diapers and formula. We also assist with childcare costs and various travel expenses related to medical care. We encourage former grant recipients to reapply for assistance after a 12-month period, ensuring that we continue to meet the evolving needs of our community while maintaining a lifetime cap of $7,500 to help as many families as possible. At CORE, we are committed to standing by those who serve us, offering a helping hand in their time of need.
