Located in Jonesboro, AR, CORE is dedicated to uplifting food and beverage service employees who face financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance for families in the restaurant industry, covering vital expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare needs. We understand the unique pressures that come with work in this sector, especially when unexpected hardships arise. CORE offers support not just for immediate needs but for the critical expenses associated with taking care of children and maintaining household stability during tough times. Former recipients may reapply for assistance after 12 months, ensuring that those who have experienced chronic conditions or new qualifying circumstances continue to receive the help they need. With a lifetime cap of $7,500, we are committed to making a significant difference for families striving to get back on their feet.
