In Clearwater, KS, CORE understands the unique challenges faced by food and beverage service employees who are juggling the demands of work and family during times of financial hardship, especially due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer compassionate financial assistance aimed specifically at supporting restaurant workers with children in need. We provide critical aid covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and funeral costs, along with support for childcare needs like diapers and formula. By partnering with families during their toughest moments, we aim to alleviate the burdens they face, ensuring their children continue to receive the care they deserve. CORE’s structured reapplication policy allows former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months for continued support, with a lifetime cap designed to help as many families as possible navigate their financial challenges.
