United Way of Connecticut

ALICE

United Way of Connecticut advocates to make life better for ALICE – the more than half a million households across every single zip code in Connecticut who work very hard but aren’t paid enough to make ends meet. ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) may be a relative or friend. You may be ALICE. As cashiers, waiters, child care providers and other members of our essential workforce, ALICE households struggle to afford basic necessities and are forced to make impossible choices each day. Inflation only exacerbates this problem.
