At CORE, we are dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry in Red Oak, IA, who are facing financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy costs, and childcare needs. We understand that times of crisis can be overwhelming, so we are here to help alleviate some of the burdens, offering up to $7,500 in support over a lifetime. Because we care deeply about their well-being, we encourage former recipients to reapply for assistance after 12 months if they experience new or ongoing challenges. Our commitment is to provide practical, compassionate assistance to those who serve our communities every day, ensuring that they can focus on what truly matters during difficult times.
