In Atchison, KS, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to the families of restaurant workers, ensuring they can navigate through difficult times with dignity and hope. We cover essential expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, as well as childcare costs for the little ones. By alleviating the burden of unexpected costs related to therapy, hospital visits, and even funeral expenses, we aim to empower our grant recipients to focus on recovery and stability. While former grant recipients may reapply after a 12-month period for ongoing or new qualifying conditions, we uphold a lifetime support cap to ensure that our resources reach those who need them most, fostering resilience within our community.
