Perdue Farms hasn't added a story.

Over 35 percent of U.S. households are unable to afford basics, forcing them to make impossible choices and risky trade-offs every day.  ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) may be a relative, a neighbor or a friend.   Although dedicated workers and families should be able to meet their basic needs, there are so many families who are struggling financially and those struggling to take care of children and elderly feel it the most. TOGETHER with United Way’s ALICE program, we can help those in our community and the surrounding areas.

Please consider donating or joining the Perdue Team today! 

Over The Edge For ALICE®

May 2, 2025 at The Ross, 132 East Main Street, Salisbury, MD.

You can still support an Edger or donate through May 19, 2025. Just click on the donate button. Thank you to all our partners, sponsors, donors, supporters and brave Edgers!

Why did we Go Over The Edge For ALICE?

We all know ALICE®.  More than 2 in 5 local households are ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed).  Our ALICE® neighbors work hard but still struggle to meet basic needs. ALICE® lives paycheck to paycheck, making tough choices each month between safe housing, food, childcare, medicine and other essentials. Just one emergency can cause a financial tailspin (injured and out of work? childcare closes? car breaks down?).  

ALICE® is in nearly every workplace, classroom and neighborhood.  UWLES and our partners work every day to help ALICE® and all neighbors access resources to help them move from barely surviving to thriving.  ALICE® lives on the edge, so we’re going Over the Edge for ALICE®!
