At CORE, located in Colby, KS, we are dedicated to providing critical financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who face unexpected medical challenges or emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children during difficult times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy costs, and childcare needs. We understand the unique struggles faced by these families and aim to alleviate their financial burdens through compassionate and practical assistance. With a lifetime cap of $7,500 for grant recipients, we strive to be a reliable resource for those in need, ensuring that our support can make a meaningful impact in their lives. Former recipients may apply for additional assistance after a 12-month interval, allowing us to continue supporting those who face new qualifying circumstances.
