I am going Over The Edge for ALICE! I will repel from the Ross, the tallest building in downtown Salisbury, on behalf of Santé in support of the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES) and ALICE!
ALICE, Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The earnings of Maryland ALICE individuals and families are not enough to support a “survival budget” that is more than twice the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). We all know ALICE®.
As the Education and Outreach Coordinator for Santé Eastern Shore, I am grateful for this opportunity to go Over the Edge for Alice on behalf of Santé. At Santé, we help families, adolescents, and individuals on the Eastern Shore stabilize during a mental crisis. As the Eastern Shore’s primary mental and behavioral health crisis intervention resource, we provide 24/7 crisis intervention for adults, children, and communities. We work with community partners to offer dynamic, comprehensive, and tailored care that focuses on each person’s health rather than the difficulty itself. Ultimately, our team of licensed counselors, therapists, clinicians and peers, is committed to individuals and families, so no one ever walks alone. At Santé we are here to support you or your loved one, 888-407-8018.
I believe in the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore and the great work UWLES does each day in the community with their partner organizations to harness the power of the community to advance health, education, and financial stability! I know and support ALICE!
This is a great opportunity to help bring awareness to the wonderful services of Santé while supporting UWLES and raising funds and awareness for ALICE!
More than 2 in 5 local households are working hard yet still struggling to make ends meet—let alone save for emergencies. We can change that!
By supporting Over the Edge for ALICE, we’re making a real difference for hardworking families in our community. Help me reach my goal by donating.
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®! |
