WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS

150,000+ households in Bucks and Montgomery Counties live below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) threshold, with 41,000+ more below the poverty line. These households face daily tradeoffs between necessities such as transportation, utilities, childcare, and housing. Transportation represents 16% of ALICE household budgets, making it the third-largest expense after housing and food. Preventative car maintenance is often delayed, leading to breakdowns, missed work and healthcare, and cascading financial hardship.

YOUR IMPACT

• A $500 repair can protect a $30,000-$50,000 annual income stream.

• Financially insecure workers are disproportionately employed in essential sectors that require physical presence and limited flexibility

• Reliable transportation supports economic mobility and strengthens the services our community depends on. When people can get to where they need to go safely, communities thrive.
