Learn about ALICE* in Putnam County

Free Zoom Webinar on Thursday, November 19, 2020 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am


Join Putnam Community Service Network Agencies for a FREE WEBINAR via Zoom on Thursday, Nov. 19 from 10-11:30 am to learn about the ALICE® in Putnam County.

For those that aren’t familiar with the term, ALICE stands for “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.” At its core, it is a new way of defining and understanding the struggles of households that earn just above the Federal Poverty Level, but not enough for a survival budget.

In addition, United Way will also demonstrate how its free 211 Helpline can help nonprofits and agencies better serve their clients. United Way’s 2-1-1 is a free, confidential, multilingual information (over 200 languages) and referral helpline. As COVID-19 continues to unfold, 2-1-1 will be available for residents of the Hudson Valley, Long Island and upstate New York, answering questions about food assistance, housing and shelters, utilities, abuse prevention, suicide, foster parenting, medical help and more. 

Webinar presented by Putnam Community Service Network Agencies: Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County, United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, Putnam County, The Prevention Council of Putnam, Catholic Charities, Mahopac Public Library. For more information, call Stefanie Hubert, Executive Director, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County at 845- 278-6738 x 223 or visit our website at putnam.cce.cornell.edu/events
