Aylisa’s Story
August 3, 2022
When COVID-19 hit, Aylisa worried about how she would be able to give the participants in her program hope. Many were facing eviction, mounting utility bills, or obstacles to being able to work.
United Way worked rapidly with our partners to identify the needs of the most vulnerable and rallied the community to provide supports such as emergency funds for basic needs. Because supporters do local good, Alyisa can help those in need stay housed and employed.
