Based in Orland Park, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial difficulties due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees with children by covering critical expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, caregiving costs, and basic needs for children such as diapers and formula. In times of crisis, we understand the importance of stability and are committed to empowering families to navigate their challenges. While former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after a 12-month period, we aim to ensure that each family receives the support they need, with a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500 to maximize our impact across the community. CORE is here to make a difference when it's needed most, offering guidance and relief during times of hardship.
