In Peoria, IL, CORE is dedicated to providing crucial financial assistance to food and beverage service employees facing financial difficulties due to illnesses or medical emergencies. We understand the unique challenges that families in the restaurant industry experience, especially those with children. Our support covers an array of essential expenses including rent or mortgage, utilities, funeral costs, medical bills and supplies, hospital travel, and childcare needs, among others. We are committed to helping families navigate these tough times by offering a maximum of $7,500 in a lifetime, allowing for support during both recurring and new qualifying challenges, as long as a year has passed since the last grant application. CORE is here to stand alongside families in need, ensuring they have the resources to thrive during difficult circumstances.
