Based in Grinnell, IA, CORE is dedicated to offering vital financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry who are facing challenging times due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the unique pressures that come with working in food service, and our mission is to alleviate the financial burden that can arise during difficult periods. Our support includes covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs, ensuring that families can focus on healing and recovery without the overwhelming worry of financial strain. We invite those who have previously received assistance to apply again after 12 months, allowing us to continue providing support tailored to your needs until the lifetime cap of $7,500 is reached. At CORE, we’re here to help you navigate these tough times with compassion and care, so you can find stability for your family.
