reasons to support Legal Aid Society through Give for Good:

CHILDREN

Thousands of children are impacted each year through civil legal aid. By resolving civil legal issues, parents and caregivers can provide a safe and stable life for their children and grandchildren, resolve many of the social determinates of health, and help to create pathways to a bright future.

Legal Aid has many programs that aim to stabilize the lives of children including our Children-at-Risk program that provides legal assistance to stabilize and secure housing, our new Project HELP expansion with JCPS where a full-time attorney works directly with unhoused our housing insecure JCPS families, and the much-lauded Doctors & Lawyers for Kids.

VETERANS

American Veterans have anywhere between 6 and 10 unmet civil legal needs specific to their service. Legal Aid’s Veterans Legal Assistance Project aims to resolve these issues so that those who sacrificed so much for our protection can return to civilian life with the tools they need to thrive. This year, Legal Aid Society expanded our Veterans Legal Assistance Project through a medical-legal partnership with the Robley Rex VA Medical Center, holding weekly office hours to meet Veterans where they are.

SURVIVORS

Legal Aid’s Domestic Violence Advocacy Program helps hundreds of survivors each year obtain protective orders as a first step to long-term safety. Beyond these protective orders, survivors receive additional legal support to ensure long-term stability for themselves and their families.
