Mission Statement
United Way mobilizes the caring power of communities to advance the common good. We improve lives and community conditions by assessing needs, developing solutions, raising funds, convening partners, and mobilizing citizens to act.
Description
We believe that improving life for all starts with improving life for ALICE.
ALICE is...
An acronym: ALICE represents the growing number of families who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. Despite working - oftentimes at more than one job - these households are unable to afford the basics of housing, food, child care, health care, technology, and transportation.
When ALICE suffers and is forced to make difficult choices, we all face serious consequences. United Way is fighting for ALICE - a population that is critical to the stability of our communities. We are looking beyond temporary fixes to find solutions that result in long-term, sustainable change for individuals and families.
