Based in Lowell, IN, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who are facing financial challenges due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees, offering crucial help with expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, therapy, and childcare costs, including diapers and formula. Each application is given careful consideration, and former grant recipients can reapply after 12 months if they experience new qualifying circumstances. While each family can receive up to $7,500 over their lifetime, CORE is committed to ensuring that every individual in our community can access the resources they need during difficult times.
