WE INVEST IN INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT GOALS, AND SPECIFICALLY ON THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF ALICE, OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE ASSET LIMITED, INCOME CONSTRAINED AND EMPLOYED (OR RETIRED). RECOGNIZING THAT FINANCIAL STABILITY IS A KEY SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH AND EDUCATION (AND VICE-VERSA), THE FINAL PORTFOLIO COMPRISES INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON HOLISTIC AND SUSTAINED COMMUNITY IMPACT.
