Every day, we have countless opportunities to make a difference. This story is a beautiful reminder that lives are changed when people come together to give, volunteer, and care for their neighbors. Thank you to our United Way of Kentucky Disaster Fund donors whose generosity allows us to respond when disaster strikes. Thank you to our partners at Airbnb.org for providing innovative sheltering solutions that are transforming disaster response in Kentucky. And thank you to the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Ministry for showing up for families when they need help the most. Together, we are changing lives across the Commonwealth, one family, one volunteer, and one dollar at a time.

BRANDENBURG, Ky. (KT) – Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers are called to provide more than physical help. They offer spiritual healing while helping families begin rebuilding shattered lives.

You see ALICE every day — but you might not know it.

Workers who are (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) can care for children, check out groceries, cook meals, or help with everyday banking needs. Even beyond the workplace, ALICE shows up for our communities across civic, social, cultural, religious, and recreational spaces. And yet, ALICE struggles to get by, with income above the Federal Poverty Level but less than the cost of basics in their counties.

ALICE is everywhere. Let’s make sure ALICE is seen. Explore our new Report, The in the Commonwealth. You can dig into the data for your state or county, too! Visit our website through the link in the comments.

Special thanks to our team here at UWKY, the Humana Foundation, Metro United Way, United Way of the Bluegrass and United For ALICE for shining a light on the challenges working families face making ends meet.
