Based in Union, ME, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We offer critical support for a variety of needs, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, funeral expenses, medical costs, therapy, and transportation for hospital visits. Additionally, we assist with essential child requirements such as diapers, formula, and childcare costs. Our mission is to ensure that food and beverage service employees can navigate these challenging times with dignity and support. We understand the urgency of financial hardships and aim to alleviate the burden through compassionate assistance, with a lifetime funding cap of $7,500 for eligible individuals to ensure as many families as possible receive help. Former recipients can reapply after one year, reflecting our commitment to continued support for those in need.
