Located in Chariton, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families within the restaurant industry who are facing challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program specifically supports food and beverage service employees with children, helping them navigate financial hardships by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the immense strain that unexpected circumstances can place on families, which is why CORE is committed to offering a compassionate hand in times of need. While former grant recipients may reapply for assistance after 12 months, we are here to ensure that families can access up to $7,500 in support throughout their time of need. At CORE, we stand by our community members, helping them through life’s toughest moments with care and respect.
