Located in El Dorado, KS, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees, ensuring they have access to the help they need during difficult times. We assist with critical expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, childcare costs, and even funeral expenses. Our program is designed for those with children, recognizing the unique pressures families encounter. Former grant recipients can apply again after 12 months if they encounter new or existing qualifying circumstances, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient. CORE is here to empower restaurant workers in their times of need, helping to alleviate financial burdens with compassion and care.
