Give and Make a Real Difference for Long Islanders in Need

Nassau Suffolk Law Services is the largest provider of free civil legal assistance to Long Islanders in need. The past few years have shown us when we help, respect and support each other, together we can accomplish anything, and our Long Island communities will once again thrive. For many having Long Islanders a stable income, permanent housing, a home to call their own, having access to healthcare etc., and most importantly access to equal justice under law, they will then have the support they need to begin to rebuild their lives.

Please consider signing up for monthly recurring donations in the amount of $30 or more and make a significant impact to Long Islanders most vulnerable residents and families. Your continued support can really make a difference to your neighbors in need and will assist NSLS so we can continue “Doing What’s Legally Possible to Create a Just World.” We are Long Islanders helping Long Islanders.

Calling all Law Firms, all Law Firms who commit to a $50 monthly recurring donation will be listed on our website and will be sent a framed Lawyer Led Campaign Donor Certificate.  For more information please contact Cathy Lucidi, Director of Community Relations at 631 232-2400 Ext. 3324.
