In Des Moines, IA, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees who are facing financial challenges because of an illness or medical emergency. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance to families in need, ensuring that they can cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the unique struggles faced by those in the restaurant industry, and our program is designed to offer compassionate support during tough times.
