Located in Kankakee, IL, CORE is dedicated to supporting families in the restaurant industry facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. We provide vital financial assistance to food and beverage service employees with children, covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. Our program also addresses funeral expenses and travel costs associated with hospital visits. We understand the urgency of financial support and strive to make a meaningful impact during difficult times. Former grant recipients can apply for assistance again after 12 months, allowing for continued support as circumstances evolve, all while adhering to our lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient. CORE is here to provide practical help when it’s needed most.
