Located in Columbus, KS, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who find themselves facing economic challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer compassionate support during difficult times, helping eligible employees with essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills and supplies, child needs like diapers and formula, and childcare costs. We understand that unexpected hardships can arise, and our program is designed to alleviate some of the financial burdens these families face, ensuring they can focus on healing and recovery. To apply for assistance, individuals can reach out to us, noting that former grant recipients may reapply only after 12 months have passed since receiving support. CORE is committed to uplifting our community by providing up to $7,500 in assistance over a lifetime, making a real difference in the lives of those who serve our community through food and beverage services.
