In Arkansas City, KS, CORE is dedicated to providing urgent financial assistance for 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 and their children by covering essential expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the overwhelming challenges that arise during such difficult times, and we're here to help lighten the burden by also covering therapy, hospital-related expenses, and child needs like diapers and formula. Applicants can reapply for assistance after 12 months from the previous award, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure that our resources reach as many families as possible in their time of need.
