Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Located in Paola, KS, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who face financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children during challenging times by helping cover crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills and supplies, therapy, hospital expenses, and childcare needs, including diapers and formula. We understand the urgency of these situations and strive to offer a compassionate and practical safety net for those in need. Former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months from their last award date, and we offer a lifetime cap of $7,500 to ensure we can help as many families as possible. At CORE, we believe in uplifting our community by ensuring that no family has to choose between financial stability and healthcare.
