Why are we going Over the Edge for ALICE® on May 8th?

We all know ALICE®. More than 2 in 5 local households are ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). Our ALICE® neighbors work hard but still struggle to meet basic needs. ALICE® lives paycheck to paycheck, making tough choices each month between safe housing, food, childcare, medicine and other essentials. Just one emergency can cause a financial tailspin (injured and out of work? childcare closes? car breaks down?).

ALICE® is in nearly every workplace, classroom, and neighborhood. UWLES and our partners work every day to help ALICE® and all neighbors access resources to help them move from barely surviving to thriving. ALICE® lives on the edge, so we’re going Over the Edge for ALICE®!

This is a local event with a local impact.

Every dollar raised stays in our community, helping local households access the resources they need to stay stable and move forward. When we show up locally, the impact is real, visible, and felt close to home.
