Struggling, working families
ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These struggles of households earn above the Federal Poverty Level, but still do not earn enough to afford a bare-bones household budget.
1 in 4 working families in Northwest Indiana are ALICE, struggling every day and making hard financial decisions and more. Many grapple with whether to pay their electric or medical bills, buy groceries or get the car repaired. When funds run short, cash-strapped households are forced to make tough choices, and these short-term decisions can have long-term consequences.
Our programs are here to help these families thrive. Learn more about ALICE below, then donate to support your neighbors in need.
