In Mena, AR, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand that unexpected challenges can arise, and our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by covering crucial expenses. Our program offers assistance for rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, funeral costs, childcare needs, and more, ensuring that families can focus on healing without the burden of financial strain. Eligible recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, and our grant program has a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that our resources can help as many families as possible during their time of need. At CORE, we are here to uplift those who have dedicated their lives to serving others.
