At CORE, we are dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry in Monroe, CT, who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by alleviating the financial strain associated with unexpected medical expenses. We cover a range of needs, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills and supplies, travel expenses for hospital visits, and essential items for children such as diapers and formula. We understand that life’s challenges can be overwhelming, which is why we strive to offer relief and empower families in their time of need. Former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, ensuring that we serve those who require ongoing support, while maintaining a lifetime cap of $7,500 to maintain the sustainability of our program.
