About Us
Our goal is to positively impact the lives of ALICE households by improving their financial stability and ultimately reducing the number of ALICE households in Erie County. To do this, we aim to work together with members of ALICE households to find out their greatest needs and their ideas for ways to make life easier and more fulfilling. We are creating this ALICE Advisory Council so that ALICE members can help direct the work of United Way going forward.
Members are expected to serve for one year at a time and may recommit for the subsequent year. Council meetings will be held monthly for 1 hour. United Way will poll council members to determine the day and time that works well for most people. Each council member will receive a gift card valued at $25.00 for each meeting attended.

Responsibility
Would you like to join with others to help shape programs to better serve people in our community? United Way is committed to listening to and raising the voices of people in the community with lived experience who benefit from our work.
One of our focus areas is on households we call ALICE ® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). ALICE are households that, despite working hard, live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford necessities such as housing, food, childcare, transportation, technology, and healthcare.
If you are like 40% of people in our community who are working and struggling to pay bills, we invite you to join the ALICE Community Advisory Council. You will be joining others from the community who are also experiencing financial challenges and willing to share their ideas to help others.
Compensation
Each member will receive a stipend of $25 per meeting and will be compensated via a gift card in the week following each meeting attended.
