At CORE, based in Lafayette, IN, we are dedicated to providing vital financial assistance for families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial struggles due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to ease the burden of unexpected expenses for food and beverage service employees with children. We offer support for essential costs such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills and supplies, and childcare needs, including diapers and formula. Our program is designed to help families navigate challenging times, ensuring they have access to important resources like therapy, hospital travel expenses, and funeral costs. Families can apply for assistance 12 months after their last grant, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 per recipient to ensure that help is available to those in need across our community.
