Located in Bridgeport, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing economic challenges due to an illness or medical emergency. We understand the unique struggles that food and beverage service employees endure, especially when children are involved. Our supportive program offers crucial funding for essential expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We also help cover travel and food expenses related to hospital visits, ensuring families can focus on their health and wellbeing without the burden of financial stress. Former grant recipients can reapply after a 12-month period for new or ongoing challenges, with a lifetime cap to ensure assistance is available to those in need. At CORE, we are committed to empowering families in the restaurant sector through compassion and practical support during their most difficult times.
