Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE) Providing Support to Service Employees Affected by COVID or Natural Disaster

CORE: Children of Restaurant Employees (@COREgives) was founded in 2004 by beverage industry executives who wanted to give back to the hospitality industry. CORE is dedicated to serving food and beverage service employees with children with an injury, illness, death in the household, diagnosed with a medical condition or impacted by a natural geological disaster. 

As the world faces the biggest pandemic in our liftime, CORE is honoring its mission by providing support to these service employees, with children, who have been medically diagnosed or living in the same household with a family member diagnosed with COVID-19 and under medical directive to quarantine. Grants average $2,500 and cover rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy sessions or equipment, for family or childcare costs. Qualified applicants must be able to document a qualifying event such as a diagnosed medical condition, injury or accident, death of an immediate family member or loss of a home from fire or natural disaster. 

Please encourage qualified restaurant operations employees with children to apply online at www.COREgives.org. You can also refer a family online.
