Located in North Berwick, ME, CORE provides essential financial assistance for families in the restaurant industry facing significant challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique circumstances that food and beverage service employees experience, and our mission is to ensure that no family has to navigate these difficulties alone. Through our program, we offer support for critical expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills and supplies, childcare needs, and transportation for hospital visits. Our priority is to help families maintain stability during tough times, with a lifetime cap of $7,500, allowing for thoughtful relief when most needed. Former CORE grant recipients can reapply 12 months after the previous award, providing continued support for ongoing or new qualifying situations. We are here to lift up those who serve our communities with care and dedication.
