Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Located in Alton, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our compassionate program offers essential support to food and beverage service employees, helping cover crucial expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the unique struggles that come with caring for a family during tough times and aim to alleviate some of that burden. Our commitment to serving the community extends to providing aid for funeral expenses and necessary supplies for children's well-being. As a resource for those in need, CORE encourages former grant recipients to reapply after 12 months, ensuring that help remains accessible amid life’s changing circumstances, with a total assistance limit of $7,500 designed to support families through ongoing challenges.
