Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Based in Cicero, IL, CORE is dedicated to supporting food and beverage service employees who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide vital financial assistance to families in the restaurant industry, ensuring they can meet urgent needs such as rent, utilities, medical expenses, and childcare costs. We cover essential expenses, including therapy costs, funeral expenses, and travel for medical care, helping families navigate challenging times with dignity. Recipients may reapply for assistance after 12 months have passed since their previous award, with a lifetime support cap of $7,500 to ensure that we can reach as many families in need as possible. At CORE, we care about the well-being of families in our community and are committed to providing compassionate support when it matters most.
