Basic Needs
What We Know:
-
Emergencies happen and families living on the edge of poverty are less likely to be able to sustain themselves through crisis
- In difficult economic times, more families are at risk.
United Way's Response:
Help in Crisis - programs that provide a hand up during a life crisis such as food, housing or disaster relief.
Remove Barriers - programs that allow people to be self-sufficient and feel free from harm.
