Based in East Hartford, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face unexpected challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children during difficult times by easing the burden of financial stress. Through our program, we cover critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs, ensuring families receive comprehensive support. Former grant recipients may reapply after a full year, with assistance capped at $7,500 to maintain sustainability for all. At CORE, we understand the unique struggles of our community and are committed to being a reliable source of help when it is needed most.
