Located in Ignacio, CO, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the challenges that food and beverage service employees encounter, especially when juggling their work with the needs of their children. Our program offers comprehensive support, covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, funeral costs, therapy, travel, and food related to hospital visits, as well as childcare and vital child needs like diapers and formula. While former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, we remain committed to supporting eligible families with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure they receive the help they need. At CORE, we believe in helping our community members navigate their toughest times with the dignity and support they deserve.
