In Wellington, KS, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees and their families as they navigate financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide compassionate financial assistance tailored to the specific needs of restaurant workers, helping cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy costs, funeral expenses, and childcare essentials. By easing the burden on families, we aim to foster stability during tough times. Former grant recipients can reapply for assistance 12 months after their last award, giving them a chance to receive support for ongoing or new qualifying circumstances, with a limit of $7,500 in lifetime assistance available. CORE stands as a steadfast ally, committed to lifting up those who serve our communities through their hard work in the restaurant industry.
