My Nonprofit Reviews

I've worked as a volunteer for Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County and have been impressed by the dedicated work its staff does for low-income people with legal issues. The disparities in wealth in our county are clear, and Legal Aid does its part to fight for those who may not have the resources to fight for themselves.

I came across Legal Aid in San Mateo County as I looked for an agency that was working on national issues but on a local level. The staff is embarrassingly effusive in giving thanks for the smallest assistance. I am particularly drawn to the immigration issue but the agency does important work (and not just legal) for people living in poverty in my home county. The tagline says it all for me, "Fighting social injustice through civil legal advocacy for people living in poverty."
