Heart of Maine United Way is partnering with the Community Caring Collaborative for a half-day ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Summit focused on understanding and addressing the challenges facing working families in Washington County. The day will include a presentation of the latest ALICE data, a panel discussion featuring local perspectives, and facilitated table conversations designed to share insights and identify opportunities. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the barriers that families and businesses in our community face and a stronger connection to others working on creative and effective solutions.
Presenters will include Matt Donahue, President & CEO of Heart of Maine United Way, and panelists from across the spectrum of business, non-profit, education, and economic development organizations, such as Tawney Desjardins, WIC director for Washington and Hancock Counties, Denise Cilley, Associate Director for Sunrise County Economic Council, and Dante Zanoni, Program Manager for The Connection Initiative.
