Located in Great Bend, KS, CORE is dedicated to supporting families in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide timely financial assistance to food and beverage service workers with children, helping to alleviate stress during difficult times. The funds can cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, and hospital-related expenses, including travel and meals. We also assist with child needs like diapers and formula, as well as childcare costs. Former grant recipients may reapply for assistance after 12 months, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per household. CORE is here to help families navigate through tough circumstances with care and practical support, ensuring that no one has to face these challenges alone.
