"It just shows the scale of how many families are struggling in the Bay Area today," United Way Bay Area CEO Kevin Zwick said.

United Way Bay Area's latest figures shows a family of four living in the region needs an average of $120,000 a year to make ends meet, and that a quarter of local working families struggle to meet their daily needs.
