Based in Wallingford, CT, CORE is dedicated to supporting families working in the restaurant industry who face financial difficulties stemming from illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to employees with children, helping them navigate challenging times by addressing essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy costs, and childcare necessities. We understand that these circumstances can arise unexpectedly, and we aim to alleviate some of the burdens faced by families. CORE allows former grant recipients to reapply after a full year from their last award, ensuring continued support when needed most, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 for each recipient. We are committed to serving the unique needs of our community, offering a lifeline for those in the food and beverage sector when they need it the most.
