Located in Crawfordsville, IN, CORE is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to alleviate the burdens of financial hardship for food and beverage service employees and their children by offering support for essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare costs. We understand the urgent needs that arise during difficult times; therefore, we cover a range of needs from therapy and hospital expenses to basic necessities for children like diapers and formula. Former grant recipients may apply again after 12 months, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient ensuring that we can assist as many families as possible. CORE stands as a lifeline during difficult moments, committed to helping families in the restaurant community thrive again.
