Located in Oak Lawn, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Understanding the unique challenges these families encounter, we offer support for a range of expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare needs. Our goal is to ensure that the children of food and beverage service employees receive the care and support they need during difficult times. While former recipients can reapply for assistance after 12 months, we maintain a commitment to sustainable support by capping lifetime aid at $7,500, helping families navigate through their crises while encouraging long-term resilience.
