Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Based in Park Ridge, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial struggles due to health-related challenges. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children who require urgent help during difficult times caused by illness or medical emergencies. We offer a range of assistance covering essential expenses such as rent, utilities, medical bills, childcare costs, and more, ensuring families can focus on recovery and stability. Former grant recipients may apply again after 12 months, allowing continued support for ongoing or new qualifying circumstances, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 to help as many families as possible during their times of need.
