In Decorah, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to employees in the restaurant and food service industry who face financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support families by alleviating the burden of expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and vital childcare needs like diapers and formula. We understand that unexpected challenges arise, and we aim to ease the strain on parents while they navigate these difficult times. Former recipients may apply for assistance again after 12 months, allowing them to seek help for ongoing or new circumstances. While our support has a lifetime cap of $7,500, every grant aims to offer essential relief to those who have given so much to the community through their service in the food sector.
