Based in Fruita, CO, CORE is dedicated to uplifting food and beverage service employees who are navigating financial challenges due to medical emergencies or illnesses affecting their families. Our program stands as a lifeline, offering crucial financial assistance for essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and even funeral costs. We ensure that families can also access support for child needs, including diapers and formula, along with childcare expenses. To maintain fairness, former CORE grant recipients may apply again after 12 months since their last assistance, and all recipients are eligible for a lifetime cap of $7,500 to help them through their most pressing times. At CORE, we understand the urgency of these situations and strive to provide practical support for families in our community.
