A $10,000 grant to support the working poor has been awarded to the United Way of Western Connecticut. The grant from the Genworth Foundation will help the United Way work with the so-called ALICE population, or those who are “asset-limited, income-constrained and employed.”  United Way interim president Isabel Almeida says people who work hard should be able to serve healthy food to their families, and that their children should have the same access to quality care and educational activities that all children have.  The grant will go to the ALICE Enrichment Fund, which provides families with $300 per child per year to pay for out-of-school activities.  Some funding will also go toward a discount card and mobile app ALICE households use to pay for healthy food.
