Based in Glastonbury, CT, CORE is dedicated to supporting families working in the restaurant industry who face financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide crucial financial assistance to food and beverage service employees and their children, helping them navigate challenging times with dignity and care. We cover a range of essential expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, funeral costs, medical bills and supplies, therapy, hospital-related travel and food costs, as well as pressing needs for children such as diapers, formula, and childcare expenses. We are committed to offering support to those in need, with a focus on helping them stabilize their situation. Former recipients may reapply after a waiting period, and we ensure that our assistance remains impactful while adhering to a lifetime cap of $7,500 per family. Together, we strive to uplift our community and provide tangible support to those who feed us.
