Financial Assistance for Families Working in the Restaurant Industry (CORE) is dedicated to uplifting food and beverage service employees in Marion, IN, who find themselves in financial turmoil due to an illness or medical emergency. Our mission is to provide compassionate financial assistance for essential expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, medical bills, childcare needs, and more. We understand the challenges faced by families in the restaurant industry, and our support extends to covering travel costs to medical appointments and necessary supplies for children. While we provide a maximum of $7,500 in aid over a lifetime to help families navigate their toughest times, we welcome former recipients to reapply for assistance after a 12-month period. At CORE, we stand by our community, offering a vital safety net during critical moments.
