At CORE, hope is only possible because of those who choose to stand behind it. As part of our Serving Up Hope campaign, we want to thank Our Heroes of Hope — Cromwell Media, Custom Culinary, Din Tai Fung, and Guest Counts Hospitality — for their generous support.

CORE provides financial assistance to families of food and beverage employees facing crisis, such as a serious illness or injury or a natural disaster. These are the people who spend their careers taking care of the rest of us, often without a safety net of their own when things go wrong. CORE steps in so they have somewhere to turn, offering direct support that helps families stay afloat and focus on healing rather than how to make ends meet. Support like this lets us keep saying “yes” to families who need us.

Thank you to Cromwell Media, Custom Culinary, Din Tai Fung, and Guest Counts Hospitality for investing in an industry that spends its days taking care of everyone else. We’re grateful to have you in our corner.
