Based in Orange, CA, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program is designed to alleviate some of the burdens during challenging times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, and supplies, as well as childcare costs and other family needs. We understand the unique challenges that food and beverage service employees encounter, and our goal is to offer a lifeline of support when it is needed most. Through our grants, we aim to empower families to navigate through difficult circumstances and focus on their recovery and well-being. CORE grant recipients may reapply after 12 months for new or ongoing needs, with a lifetime cap in place to ensure we can support as many families as possible.
