At CORE, based in Opelika, AL, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardships due to medical emergencies or illnesses. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by covering critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We also assist with costs related to therapy, hospital travel, and necessary child supplies like diapers and formula. Understanding the unique challenges that restaurant workers face, we ensure that those in need can access support when it matters most. Applicants who have previously received grants can apply again after 12 months, and while we strive to offer comprehensive help, there is a lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient. CORE is here to uplift and empower families during tough times, creating a brighter future together.
