The Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge set up a fund to help local organizations affected by the closure of the United Way of Staunton, Augusta County and Waynesboro, but there is still an unpaid grant balance of over $90-thousand dollars. The expansion will focus on bringing programs to the area rather than cash resources, with a particular emphasis on supporting Asset-Limited Income-Constrained Employed, or ALICE, households. United Way has already been providing assistance to ALICE households in the region and aims to continue addressing their challenges through targeted support initiatives.
