In Albia, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry who are facing difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges that food service employees encounter, especially when it comes to balancing work and family needs during tough times. Our support can cover crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, funeral costs, and medical-related expenses including therapy and hospital travel. We also assist with childcare needs, helping to ensure that families receive the comprehensive support they require during their time of need. Funded through generous donations, CORE aims to alleviate financial burdens and empower families to focus on recovery and well-being. We welcome former recipients to reapply after 12 months, reinforcing our commitment to continuous support for those facing ongoing challenges, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per family.
