As you gather with family or friends over the month, we encourage you to take a moment to discuss an important issue affecting many hardworking individuals: ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). These are our neighbors, friends, and family members who live above the poverty level but still struggle to afford basic necessities. Despite their hard work, ALICE households often don't qualify for assistance programs, making it difficult to make ends meet.
