In Wasilla, Alaska, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide immediate and practical financial assistance to families in need, helping cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, and childcare needs. We understand that those moments of crisis can be overwhelming, which is why we also include support for therapy and travel expenses related to hospital visits. CORE aims to alleviate some burdens so families can focus on healing and stability. Former grant recipients may apply again after 12 months for continued assistance, up to a lifetime cap of $7,500, reflecting our commitment to empower families through tough times and provide a lifeline when they need it most.
