At CORE, we are dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance specifically for families working in the restaurant industry in Calumet City, IL, who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our program aims to support food and beverage service employees with children, helping cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, child needs like diapers and formula, and childcare costs. We understand the urgency of these situations, and we strive to make the application process straightforward for those who need it. Once a family receives assistance, they may reapply after a twelve-month period, allowing us to continue our mission of supporting those in need while respecting our lifetime assistance cap of $7,500. Our goal is to uplift families during their toughest times, ensuring that they can focus on health and recovery without the added stress of financial burdens.
