Who We’re Helping
Across Western New York, there are so many households who are working hard and doing all they can, but it still doesn’t seem to be enough. These are the people our programs are focused on.
We refer to this population as “ALICE”: the Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. They need all of us to help fill the gaps – to help provide direction, hope, and tools to thrive.
