Located in Lebanon, ME, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing difficult times due to medical emergencies or chronic illnesses. Our mission is to alleviate the burden of financial hardship by assisting with crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the unique challenges food and beverage service employees encounter, and we strive to support them through tough times by ensuring access to necessary resources like travel expenses for hospital visits and supplies for children. While former recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, we maintain a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that support is available to as many families as possible. We believe no one should face financial distress alone, and CORE is here to help those in the restaurant community get back on their feet.
