In Fort Madison, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program is designed to alleviate the financial burdens that can arise during challenging times, offering support for essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the unique struggles faced by food and beverage service employees and aim to ease their worries by covering costs like hospital travel and child needs, including diapers and formula. CORE is committed to making a positive impact, allowing former grant recipients to reapply for assistance after 12 months and providing support up to a lifetime cap of $7,500. We believe no family should have to choose between their health and their financial stability, and we are here to help.
