ALICE. Working Hard. Falling Short.

ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These are our neighbors who are working, paying their bills, but still struggling to afford the rising cost of basics. 

When Crisis Strikes, We Respond.

That is where United Way Northwest Indiana comes in.

We are here to help our neighbors navigate the challenges that remain after the immediate crisis has passed. Through our crisis response efforts, we are working to help individuals and families address the financial pressures created by the storms and regain stability.
