At United Way Blackhawk Region, we believe that all children should have access to the resources they need to flourish. But that isn’t always a reality, especially for #ALICEchildren. In 2022, nearly 295,000 children in struggling families statewide didn’t access SNAP, and 113,600 had no high-speed internet access at home. United, we can bridge the gap and bring hope and opportunity to all children. Join us! Read on and share your findings: https://lnkd.in/dHp7TrP4

ALICE workers are the engine that keeps Wisconsin’s economy running, but they often can’t afford basics themselves. Our new “ALICE in Focus: Children” data shows that among all Wisconsin families with two working adults, 27% of children were still facing financial instability in 2022. United Way of Anytown is committed to clearing the path to financial stability for all families. You can help! Explore the data and share your findings: https://lnkd.in/dHp7TrP4

At United Way Blackhawk Region, we recognize the systemic barriers that lead to racial gaps in hardship among children in Wisconsin. Our new “ALICE in Focus: Children” data reveals that 76% of Black and 59% of Hispanic children lived in financially strapped families in 2022, compared to 33% of White children. With your help, we can tackle these barriers so that all children can reach their potential. Explore the new data: https://lnkd.in/dHp7TrP4

United Way Blackhawk Region opens pathways for our children to thrive. Join us in building solutions for the 41% of children statewide whose families couldn’t afford basics in 2022 – including 13% in poverty and 28% who are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). ALICE families earn above the Federal Poverty Level but less than the cost of basics. Learn more: LiveUnitedBR.org/alice
