Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

At CORE in Hutchinson, KS, we understand the unique challenges faced by food and beverage service employees, especially those who are parents encountering financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer meaningful financial assistance to support families during critical times by covering essential expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare needs. We also provide aid for transportation costs associated with hospital visits and necessary supplies for children. While former grant recipients can reapply after 12 months for continued support related to the same or new qualifying situations, we maintain a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure as many families as possible receive the help they need. We're dedicated to being a reliable resource for those in our community navigating these difficult times.
