Located in Clinton, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique struggles that food and beverage service employees endure, especially when unexpected medical situations arise. Our program offers essential support covering a range of needs including rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral expenses, medical bills, therapy, hospital-related costs such as travel and food, and childcare necessities like diapers and formula. We believe in empowering our community, ensuring that families can focus on healing and well-being during difficult times. While former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, we maintain a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure sustainability and support as many families as possible in their times of need.
