United Way of the National Capital Area has launched Do More for ALICE — a powerful campaign to support ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and federal workers who are working but still struggling to make ends meet. Rising costs are hitting them hard, and they need your help now.
When you give now through June 12th every dollar will be matched, doubling
your impact!
At United Way NCA, we deliver and manage evidence-based programs that are designed and implemented through a racial equity lens. These programs are based on community wants and needs, and they achieve measurable and meaningful outcomes for which we can all be proud. Learn more about our programs and how you can get involved in helping us build a more equitable National Capital Area. Then, sign up for our volunteering platform today to stay engaged.
United Way of the National Capital Area improves the health, education and economic opportunity of every person in our community, regardless of race, gender, income or ability. We are committed to reducing disparities and inequities in our region by mobilizing all sectors of the community to create a more equitable future for all.
