WE ARE ALICE: A Community Crisis Forum

A family of four with an infant and a preschooler needs to annually make $88,000 to live comfortably. Two out of every five families in our Suncoast region don’t earn enough to address their basic household budget needs. As the statistics from the 2023 ALICE Report roll in, we recognize that more people find themselves living paycheck to paycheck and working hard to keep their heads over water. But we also recognize the best way to help involves marshaling our resources and uniting the community behind a collective effort. That’s what we’ve done at United Way Suncoast since 1924 and that’s what we do today.

Join us at 10 a.m. on May 23 as WTSP Brightside anchor Frank Wiley guides us through a discussion about one of our community’s most pressing issues, and how we can give every family the “Freedom To Rise.”
