This is your chance to join United Against Poverty in leading sustainable change in this community by offering a hand UP, not a handout to our neighbors who are struggling. Please take a few minutes and stop by the United Against Poverty info tent across from ticket sales at the main entrance and find out how you can help lift lives UP in Indian River County.

2024 ALICE Report from United Way: 8,506 households in Indian River County are in poverty, while another 23,024– are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). The ALICE working households earn above the Federal Poverty Level but less than what’s needed to survive in the modern economy. ALICE families have been overlooked and undercounted by traditional poverty measures. ALICE is the nation’s childcare workers, home health aides and cashiers heralded during the pandemic – those working low-wage jobs, with little or no savings and one emergency from poverty. They are hardworking people one paycheck away from financial ruin. Even using the most conservative cost scenarios for a family’s monthly expenses these ALICE families live on the brink of financial disaster every day — at risk of falling over the precipice when an emergency comes their way. The ranks of Indian River County households unable to afford the basics grew by 12% during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a total of 31,767 households or 44% struggling to afford the basics.
