Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Based in Bloomington, IN, CORE extends a compassionate hand to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to provide critical financial assistance for a variety of pressing needs, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, childcare expenses, and other essential costs associated with raising children during difficult times. With a commitment to supporting those in the food and beverage service, CORE ensures that help is accessible and responsive to the specific needs of our community members, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 for each recipient. We welcome former grant recipients to apply again after a full year, whether for ongoing issues or new qualifying circumstances, as we strive to support families in their moments of greatest need.
