Support Our Work - Donate Today!!

May 14, 2010

Two of three core funding sources for civil legal services continue to face virtual elimination and ongoing delays in the New York State budget will soon begin to force legal services providers to cut services, cut staff, close offices. 

Your donation will help advocates make the law work for all New Yorkers.

The law is extremely powerful. It can mean the difference between having a roof over your head and being homeless, having food on your table or going hungry, having access to childcare so that you can maintain your employment or being unemployed.  Your gift will help us make sure families meet these most basic needs.

Please consider making your donation today.  To make a tax-deductible, secure donation, please visit  https://secure3.convio.net/ejc/site/Donation2?df_id=1280&1280.donation=form1 to fill out and submit the our donation form.

Thank you for your support!
