ALICE could be your friend, relative, coworker, neighbor, or even you.
ALICE - the acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, represents the growing number of hardworking families who are unable to afford the basics of housing, child care, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology. These workers often struggle to keep their households from financial ruin, while keeping our local communities running.
48% OF HOUSEHOLDS IN OUR AREA ARE LIVING BELOW THE ALICE THRESHOLD
ALICE households are forced to make tough choices, such as deciding between quality child care or
paying the rent — choices that have long-term consequences not only for their families but for all.
These individuals and families are often just one emergency away from slipping further into financial
instability.
having to make difficult decisions like...
Choosing between quality child care OR paying rent
Purchasing healthy food for your family OR paying the utility bill
Having reliable transportation to get to and from work OR paying for medication
THE REALITY IS NEARLY HALF OF ALICE FAMILIES IN OUR AREA ARE FACED WITH MAKING THESE DECISIONS EVERY DAY.
Our goal is to serve 30,000 ALICE families by 2030.
This goal is ambitious, and it’s only achievable with your support. Every gift you give powers programs, services, and initiatives that directly transform lives across the CSRA. Fundraising isn’t just part of the campaign—it’s the engine that makes this impact possible.
