At CORE, we are dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry based in Waldoboro, ME, who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer support during these critical times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, and medical bills. In addition to these vital needs, we also assist with therapy costs, hospital-related expenses including travel and food, and childcare expenses like diapers and formula. We understand the unique struggles of food service workers, and our commitment is to help ease their burdens so they can focus on recovery. Former grant recipients can reapply after 12 months, ensuring ongoing support for ongoing or new qualifying circumstances within a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500.
