Located in Hartford, CT, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by alleviating the burden of expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, childcare needs, and other critical costs associated with maintaining a household during tough times. We understand the urgent needs of those in our community, and through our compassionate approach, we aim to empower families by offering up to $7,500 in assistance over a lifetime, ensuring that help is available when it matters most. Former grant recipients may reapply for assistance after 12 months, whether for the same condition or a new circumstance, as we stand with families in their time of need.
