In Iowa City, IA, CORE is dedicated to offering vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face unexpected financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our support helps cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, childcare needs, and more, providing a safety net during challenging times. We understand the pressures that come with financial hardship, especially for those juggling the demands of work and family life. Our program is designed to be a source of relief, allowing recipients to focus on recovery and stability. With a lifetime cap of $7,500, we ensure that assistance is available when truly needed, and former recipients may reapply after a year for continued support as new circumstances arise. At CORE, we are committed to helping restaurant industry families navigate financial crises with care and compassion.
