Based in Solon, IA, CORE is dedicated to assisting families in the restaurant industry facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide crucial financial support during difficult times, helping cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We recognize the unique struggles faced by food and beverage service employees, especially those with children, and are committed to offering practical aid to alleviate some of their burdens. Former grant recipients can apply for assistance again after a full year, ensuring continued support for those in need. With a lifetime cap of $7,500, CORE remains focused on empowering families to navigate their financial hardships with dignity and care.
