Based in Naples, ME, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance to families who need help covering critical expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the pressures that come with balancing work and family needs, especially during difficult times. CORE empowers families by offering up to $7,500 in assistance over their lifetime, ensuring they have the support they require when navigating life's unexpected challenges. We encourage former grant recipients to reapply for assistance a year after their previous award, recognizing that each family's situation is unique and deserving of care.
