Meet ALICE
Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — Essential, Working, Struggling
There is a misconception that food-insecure individuals are lazy, entitled, uneducated, unemployed, or homeless. The majority of families faced with food insecurity are working-class families — earning above the Federal Poverty Level yet struggling to afford all the basics such as housing, childcare, education, food, transportation, health care, technology, and taxes.
ALICE households span all races, ages, ethnicities, and abilities. They include workers whose wages cannot keep up with the rising cost of goods and services — often working two or more jobs and still unable to pay their bills. ALICE may be your relative, friend, colleague, or neighbor.
