In Cedar Rapids, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children in need by covering critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, childcare costs, and more. We understand the challenges that arise during difficult times, and our assistance aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens, allowing families to focus on healing and recovery. Former grant recipients may apply for support again after a year and can receive up to $7,500 in total lifetime assistance. At CORE, we are committed to being there for you when it matters most.
