At CORE in York, ME, we are dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry facing challenging times due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees who have children and are in need of immediate help. We understand the hardships that arise, and we cover essential expenses such as rent, utilities, medical bills, hospital-related costs, and child necessities, including diapers and childcare. We believe in empowering our applicants, allowing former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months for support with either the same or new qualifying circumstances, up to a lifetime cap of $7,500. CORE stands as a resource for those who serve our communities, ensuring they have the support they need during difficult times.
