Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

In Bloomington, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children, helping cover critical expenses such as rent, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and child-related needs like diapers and childcare costs. We understand that financial stress can arise unexpectedly, and we strive to ease that burden during difficult times. Former recipients can apply again after 12 months for ongoing support, ensuring that families receive the help they need as they navigate life's challenges. With a lifetime cap of $7,500, CORE remains committed to lifting up those who serve our communities each day.
