Family Relief Effort

Stability When It Matters Most

Supporting ALICE ® Families Across Northeast Louisiana

In Northeast Louisiana, 56% of households are ALICE or below - hardworking families who live without a financial safety net. When an unexpected hardship hits, even a small setback can threaten stability. Through the Family Relief Effort, eligible individuals and families will receive resources to cover urgent needs like utilities, food, or transportation, facilitated by case management from United Way of Northeast Louisiana. Every contribution helps families regain their footing and move forward with dignity and hope.
