How CORE provides financial lifeline for food, beverage workers in crisis

In this episode of the Restaurant Operator Podcast, host Mandy Detwiler, editor of QSRweb.com and Pizza Marketplace, chats with Jill Chapman, senior director of corporate partnerships for CORE. CORE is a national non-profit that financially supports food and beverage service families in times of crisis.CORE was founded 22 years and was run by volunteers up into 2015 when it hired its first employee. Eleven years later, the non-profit has several employees and is growing as much as the need is growing.CORE is needed because in the food and beverage industry, there is no PTO — if you're not working you're not getting paid."If anything happens, whether it be health, injury, death or natural disaster or domestic abuse, that's where CORE comes in. That's what our mission is about. We come in and help financially during those times," Chapman said.To learn more about CORE and how to apply for help, listen to the podcast in its entirety.
