At CORE in Fort Wayne, IN, we are dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to offer support during challenging times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, and childcare needs. We understand the unique struggles that food and beverage service employees encounter, especially when caring for children. With a lifetime assistance cap of $7,500, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who serve our communities. Former grant recipients may reapply after 12 months for any new or ongoing medical conditions, reinforcing our commitment to helping families navigate through their toughest times.
