Located in Waukee, Iowa, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees facing financial struggles due to illness or emergencies, ensuring families can navigate challenging times with care and dignity. Our program offers essential financial assistance to cover critical expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, hospital costs, and childcare needs such as diapers and formula. We understand the unique challenges that restaurant industry workers encounter, and we are here to provide a safety net during times of crisis. Former grant recipients may reapply after a year, and while we aim to help as many families as possible, each recipient can receive a maximum of $7,500 in support throughout their lifetime. CORE is committed to strengthening families in our community when they need it most.
