关于我们
Lubbock Area United Way is in the business of creating meaningful and tangible impact in our community. We help bring the community together to look at the most urgent needs and do whatever it takes to improve lives. We work to address the needs today and the issues of tomorrow.

We are about people empowering people. We care deeply about the individual lives that are changed. And, we care about improving the overall quality of life in this community. The Lubbock Area United Way stands for hope and optimism. We hold ourselves accountable, not just for action, but also for results.

The difficult choices these households face have long-term consequences for not only them but also our community. Please consider partnering with United Way as we support these individuals who struggle to buy the essentials for everyday life. Click here to learn more information: https://lnkd.in/gVM3iREy

ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) households and households in poverty are forced to make tough choices that have long-term consequences not only for their families but for everyone. Despite some ups and downs in rates of financial hardship, the trend is clear: The number of ALICE households in Texas has been steadily growing. This consistent trend represents a major vulnerability in our economic system. It also suggests that overall social and economic policies are failing to address the root causes of financial instability.
