In Dubuque, IA, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees facing financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand that during challenging times, families may struggle with essential expenses such as rent, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. Our financial assistance program aims to alleviate some of these burdens by providing support for vital needs like therapy, hospital travel, and even funeral expenses. We encourage past grant recipients to apply again after a 12-month gap, ensuring ongoing assistance for those dealing with chronic conditions or new hardships, all while respecting a lifetime cap of $7,500 per individual. At CORE, we are committed to helping restaurant industry families navigate their toughest moments with care and support.
