In Oswego, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children by offering critical aid for expenses such as rent, utilities, medical bills, and child-related needs like diapers and childcare. We understand the challenges faced during difficult times and strive to provide a lifeline through our assistance program. Eligible families can apply for aid to cover necessary costs and manage their challenges, with former grant recipients welcome to reapply after a full year. To ensure sustainability, we maintain a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500 per recipient, offering a structured and meaningful way to navigate through tough circumstances.
