In Star City, AR, CORE is dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children during difficult times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the unique challenges these families face, and our program is designed to alleviate some of the burdens they encounter. Assistance is available up to a lifetime cap of $7,500, ensuring that help is accessible when it’s needed most. Eligible families may apply again 12 months after their last grant for assistance related to a previous or new qualifying condition, allowing us to continue our commitment to their well-being.
