United Way of Bucks County ensures that working families can access the help they need.
United Way of Bucks County is offering free assistance to help ALICE (asset-limited, income-constrained, employed) residents of Bucks County. Working households who earn too much to qualify for other programs, but not enough to manage unplanned expenses may be eligible for emergency assistance.
We are unable to accept any additional requests for United for ALICE at this time. Please see resources below or visit www.uwbucks.org/get-help.
We strongly encourage ALICE households to connect with our other programs, all of which can help families with their expenses to bridge budget shortfalls:
- LIFT United helps ALICE (asset-limited, income-constrained, employed) residents of Bucks County increase financial literacy, improve credit scores and credit worthiness, and secure low-interest used car loans to ensure safe and reliable transportation to work.
- Pre-K Counts, UW Bucks provides quality Pre-K education to 3- and 4-year-old children at no cost to eligible families, giving our youngest neighbors a strong start in school and in life. UW Bucks partners with 15 Pre-K sites across Bucks County.
- The HELP Center fills the gap for local families in need by providing essentials like cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items, and home goods – completely free of charge – through a dignified personal shopping experience.
- Fresh Connect, our collaborative free mobile farmers market is another great resource for ALICE households!
