2021: Justice in Review

In 2021, your Legal Aid Society assisted over 8,300 households in our fifteen-county service. That’s 1,300 more Kentucky families served than in 2020. How were we able to help so many Kentuckians in need? Thanks to you – our friends, volunteers, and supporters.

Below you will find highlights from the year. When you read through this email, please know that it’s your commitment to our mission that makes our work possible.

Happy New Year!
