Located in Evanston, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardships due to medical issues or emergencies. Our program is specifically designed to support food and beverage service employees with children, offering help for expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, funeral costs, and essential needs for children like diapers and childcare. We understand the urgent challenges families encounter in tough times, and our mission is to ease that burden through compassionate financial support. Previous grant recipients can reapply for assistance after a year, with a lifetime limit of $7,500 to ensure we reach as many families as possible. At CORE, we are committed to standing by those who serve our communities, ensuring they receive the help they need during life's most difficult moments.
