Thank You to our Donors!

In this season of thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on all we are grateful for:

  • our clients who show strength and resilience in the face of adversity;

  • our staff who bring dedication and compassion to the critical work of civil legal aid; and

  • you – our community of friends and supporters who encourage us and stand with us in our pursuit of justice for all.

Your commitment to Legal Aid Society provides us with the support and stability that we need to better assist our community and to move boldly into our second century of services.

In this season of thanksgiving, we offer our sincerest gratitude to those who make our work possible.


IN MEMORY OF LESLIE CLEMONS

On November 12, 2022, Legal Aid Society lost a legend. We dedicate this year's thank you email to the memory of one of our own - Legal Aid Society attorney, Leslie Clemons.

“17 years Leslie was with Legal Aid… There’s no telling how many lives she has changed for the better. She’ll be missed by many.” - Josh Sanders

“She was always so approachable and kind and had such a good heart. We’re fortunate to have known her.” - Liz Tate
