ALICE Recovery Fund
COVID-19 Hits ALICE Families Hard
The ALICE Recovery Fund (#ALICErecovery) was established by
United Way of Northern New Jersey in partnership with
United Way of Hunterdon County to address emerging needs of
ALICE households and those in poverty in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The state of emergency created by the spread of the
coronavirus is exposing critical shortcomings in our
economy, health care system, and public education.
No one is immune to its direct or indirect effects, but
ALICE families are particularly vulnerable to hardship from
both illness and economic disruption. These households
struggled to afford the basics even before COVID-19 hit.
Across our six counties, 30 percent of households are ALICE and in poverty and United Way expects more will become ALICE as this crisis persists.
How You Can Help
Join us by giving to this Fund. Together, we can close gaps in needed assistance in the near-term and long-term for these fragile households and help ensure the stability of the region’s social service infrastructure. United Way is reaching out through our extensive regional network of partner organizations to assess needs and will see that ALICE families and those in poverty facing ongoing hardships are not forgotten in the weeks and months to come.
