Located in Indianola, IA, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees by covering critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, and necessary supplies. We also offer assistance for childcare needs, ensuring families have support during challenging times. Families who have received assistance may reapply after 12 months for new or continued support, but are subject to a lifetime cap of $7,500 for aid. CORE remains committed to uplifting those in our industry, helping alleviate financial burdens so caregivers can focus on their health and their family's well-being.
