Located in Northbrook, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to ease the burden during difficult times by offering support that covers a wide range of critical expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs. We understand the unique struggles faced by food and beverage service employees with children, and we are here to help alleviate some of the financial stress. While former grant recipients can reapply for support after 12 months, each family can receive up to $7,500 in lifetime assistance to provide for their immediate needs and ensure a stable environment for their children. At CORE, we are committed to standing with our community during challenging times.
