It's Mardi Gras and Wiregrass United Way is highlighting the real stories behind the mask!

This week, our friends at Wiregrass United Way attended the Spotlight on Business event hosted by the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce! They took the opportunity to highlight ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and the hidden struggle that these households face.

Across our state, 46% of households struggle to make ends meet. Among these are ALICE households with income that sits above the poverty level but falls short of covering basic, daily needs. From cashiers and cleaners to health aides and childcare providers, ALICE workers make Alabama a better place to live. We’re taking action so that ALICE families can cover monthly bills and have a cushion when setbacks arise. United is the Way to ensure all people and families can build toward a more financially secure future.

Last week, United Ways from across the state hosted Alabama lawmakers at our Legislative Reception on 211 Day! We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with state legislators and discuss how we can help our neighbors build resilience by advancing solutions in health, youth opportunity, and financial security. Together, we’re creating a future where every Alabamian has the chance to thrive.
