No, ALICE is not a new member of the United Way of Whitman County Board of Directors! In fact, ALICE is not a person. ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. United Ways in twenty states including Washington have become United for ALICE to create measures that help us understand our ALICE families, the jobs and wages available to them, their cost of living, and the choices they must make when they cannot make ends meet.
