Based in South Bend, IN, CORE is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to families working in the restaurant industry who face financial hardships due to illness or medical emergencies. Our mission is to support food and beverage service employees and their children during challenging times by covering essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, medical bills, funeral costs, and childcare needs. We understand the urgency behind these situations and work diligently to alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by our community members. To ensure equitable access, former grant recipients can reapply for assistance after a 12-month period, with a lifetime cap of $7,500 on support provided. Together, we strive to uplift families and foster resilience within the restaurant industry during their toughest moments.
