Event Description:
ALICE Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed
ALICE is your childcare worker, the cashier at your supermarket, the gas attendant, your waitress, a home health aide, an office clerk. ALICE cannot always pay the bills, has little or nothing in savings, and is forced to make tough choices such as deciding between quality childcare or paying the rent. One unexpected car repair or medical bill can push these financially strapped families over the edge.
In July 2017, the Virginia ALICE Report was released for public review. After months of reviewing the data, we're hosting a conversation with our community to discuss and want YOU to join us. All are welcome as we discuss our community's most pressing needs and seek collaborative solutions.
Community Conversation Wednesday, March 14th 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. RISE Faith Community 60 W Market St Harrisonburg
Facilitator: Dr. Rob Alexander, Institute for Constructive Advocacy and Dialogue, James Madison University.
Open to community members representing local government, business leaders, non-profits and anyone interested in seeking solutions. Admission is free and a light breakfast will be available. For more information about the ALICE Project and Community Conversation, visit uwhr.org/ALICE.
