Hurricane Helene
Donations to our disaster response support mobile legal clinics, additional staff for dedicated disaster hotline intake, support for our pro bono program preparing cases to volunteer lawyers, and other emerging needs. Your donation can be the lifeline that helps a family rebuild. Please consider giving today.
Legal Aid NC works for justice for the basic needs we all require: safety, fair treatment, employment, housing, and more.
More than two million North Carolinians qualify for our support. Yet, we are only able to reach a fraction of calls for help because of limited funding and capacity.
Your support helps open opportunities for our clients to build their lives beyond current hardships. Your donation helps more families and individuals access justice through Legal Aid NC.
Thank you!
