Why support CORE? CORE is a national 501(c)3 founded by industry veterans that is dedicated to serve food and beverage service employees with children when either the employee, child or spouse faces a medical crisis, illness, injury, a death or otherwise impacted by a natural disaster. In times of extreme strain brought on by a tragedy, illness or other hardship, food and beverage families can become overwhelmed financially and emotionally. During these hardships, dependent children are often the most vulnerable - and that’s when CORE steps in to help. Industry organizations and individual donors provide financial funding to help these families. Since 2004, the organization has grown into a nationally recognized nonprofit that has helped more than 1,600 families in 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. CORE provides help in the form of a financial grant to help cover rent/mortgage, utilities, medical supplies, funds for basic necessities. Each grant is unique and based on the specific need of each applicant. An employee that may qualify for a grant can apply online or be referred.
To learn more, apply for a grant, refer a family for grant consideration or donate, visit coregives.org.
*One $10 Cuba Libre gift card will be issued when $10 or more is donated to CORE in November. One per table. The gift card may be redeemed during a return visit between Jan. 2, 2023 and May 31, 2023.
