Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

In Decatur, Illinois, CORE stands as a vital resource dedicated to supporting families working in the restaurant industry who are faced with financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide compassionate assistance to food and beverage service employees with children, ensuring they can navigate challenging times with dignity. We offer critical financial aid to cover essential expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, childcare costs, and more. Through our grants, we aim to alleviate financial burdens, allowing families to focus on recovery and care. Former grant recipients can reapply after 12 months for support related to either the same or new qualifying circumstances, up to a lifetime cap of $7,500. CORE is committed to uplifting these families in their time of need.
