Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Located in Downers Grove, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our warm and welcoming program offers support for critical expenses, including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We recognize the challenges that arise during tough times and aim to lighten the burden by covering costs associated with hospital visits, necessary supplies for children like diapers and formula, and even funeral expenses. Former grant recipients may reapply for support after 12 months, ensuring that we continue to meet the evolving needs of our participants while being mindful of a lifetime support cap of $7,500. At CORE, we are committed to helping our community thrive through compassionate financial aid during times of need.
