Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry

Located in Gary, IN, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardship due to illness or medical emergencies. We understand the challenges that food and beverage service employees endure, especially when unexpected medical bills and urgent child care needs arise. Our program covers various critical expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills, therapy, and child necessities including diapers and formula. We strive to ease the burden of families navigating tough times by offering grants up to $7,500 over a lifetime, helping them focus on recovery and well-being. Those who have previously received support from CORE may reapply after 12 months for continued assistance related to the same condition or a new qualifying circumstance. At CORE, we believe in standing by our community, ensuring that no family has to face these challenges alone.
