Located in Hampton, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial emergencies due to illness or medical crises. Our mission is to alleviate the burdens associated with unexpected expenses by offering support for rent or mortgage, utilities, and medical costs, as well as childcare needs such as diapers and formula. We understand that every situation is unique, and our program is designed to assist with funeral expenses, therapy, hospital travel, and food. Former recipients can reapply for assistance after a year, ensuring that support is available when it is most needed, up to a lifetime cap of $7,500. At CORE, we are committed to empowering families to navigate challenging times with care and compassion, ensuring that they can focus on recovery and well-being.
