WE STAND WITH OUR COMMUNITY
Our team meets daily with individuals who have experienced unimaginable tragedies and are left in vulnerable positions. We want to lift up those in our community who are needlessly suffering.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DO MORE
Many groups are already making a difference in our community – and we want to help. We are donating to non profit organizations that deliver immediate aid to disadvantaged individuals and groups. Each chosen charity will be carefully researched to ensure our proceeds are going directly to those in need. Is there a cause close to your heart or a group you see positively impacting people who are struggling? Help us promote their work.
If you know of a charity you would like us to consider send us an email at [email protected]
“Our duty to help people extends far beyond the walls of the courtroom. People are facing immeasurable hardships in our communities and we need to show up for them in more ways than one.”
– Bob Giroux
