CORE Gives helps restaurant employees in need

In our latest episode of the Restaurant Operator Podcast, host Mandy Detwiler, editor of Pizza Marketplace and QSRweb, talks to Jill Chapman, director of corporate partnerships with CORE Gives, an organization that helps restaurant employees in need.

"CORE is a national non-profit," Chapman said. "We provide financial support to food and beverage service employees in this industry. It's a crisis, whether it's an injury, health issue, a natural disaster, death in the family (or) domestic abuse. Really, honestly there is a need for this because there's so many times that service employees — if one of these things happens — they're working reduced hours or none at all, and quickly, stress, hopelessness and fear — they all quickly creep in."

CORE steps in and helps employees financially so they can focus on what's important. It's about bridging the financial gap so employees can resume working "without leaving a trail of debt behind," Chapman said.
