Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

In Ketchikan, Alaska, Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry, known as CORE, stands as a critical lifeline for food and beverage service employees facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide immediate financial assistance to support families through challenging times, covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs, including diapers and formula. We understand the strains that unexpected health crises can place on families, and our program is designed to alleviate some of that stress. Those who have previously received assistance can apply again after 12 months, ensuring ongoing support as circumstances change. With a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500, CORE is dedicated to helping as many families as possible in our community navigate their toughest moments with care and compassion.
