Texas Bar Foundation Grant: Will-A-Thon Project
The Woodlands, Texas (November 11, 2024) – Community Legal, a nonprofit providing vital legal services to low-income individuals in the Greater Houston area, is honored to announce a generous grant from the Texas Bar Foundation to fund the Will-A-Thon Project. This initiative aims to offer low-income families access to basic will packages through dedicated volunteer attorneys, ensuring peace of mind and essential legal protections for those in our community unable to afford an attorney.
The Will-A-Thon Project will allow Community Legal to provide these will services free of charge, covering basic estate planning needs and delivering training for volunteer attorneys who contribute their time and expertise. This support is invaluable in helping families secure their legacies and avoid potential legal challenges in the future.
“We are deeply grateful to the Texas Bar Foundation for their generous support of our mission,” said Deborah Hubbs, President of Community Legal. “This grant will help us extend legal counsel and justice to our low-income neighbors, empowering them with essential legal protections.”
Since 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $28 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation’s largest charitably-funded bar foundation.
Founded in 2019, Community Legal’s mission is bringing justice to our community through civil legal services as a way of demonstrating Christ’s love. Community Legal offers free consultations for those in need, covering areas like family law, guardianship, kinship adoption, and estate planning. Services are available to individuals earning up to 250% of the federal poverty level, ensuring that legal support is accessible to those who may face financial barriers.
