Volunteer for THE PRIVATE BAR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM (PBVP)
Without the help of the private bar, a large number of low-income residents in our service area will not receive the legal help they desperately need. Please consider joining the PBVP and represent one of our clients each year. We are committed to providing thorough screening as well as backup services and advice as needed. A volunteer is free to choose any type of case. We do not expect you to take any case with which you are uncomfortable. Just complete our REGISTRATION FORM to join the program.
Donate to the CAMPAIGN FOR LEGAL SERVICES
The ongoing impact of the recent economic downturn has put thousands of additional individuals and families at risk of losing their stability and has substantially increased the number of people seeking services from us.
Contributions from lawyers, law firms, corporations, foundations and concerned local citizens provide approximately 15% of the total funding for MetroWest Legal Services. The program needs your donation to help narrow the gap between the needs of our clients and the available resources.
Participate in the NANCY KING MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
Since 1998, attorneys, community leaders and friends have come together to play in MetroWest Legal Services' annual golf tournament to benefit low-income people in our service area. Each year, we set a target goal of $50,000 which has been met or surpassed most years. Our thanks go to The Framingham Co-operative Bank Charitable Foundation for stepping in in 2009 as our Presenting Sponsor ($7500), and Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP, for participating for the past ten years as a Platinum Sponsor ($5000.)
MetroWest Legal Services’ charity golf tournament, now in its 13th year, is one of two annual fundraising events that we hold, and the one that we count on to bring in the most revenue. Sponsorships play a key role in the tournament’s success. This year several of our long-time sponsors have either decreased their support or eliminated it altogether.
Even if you don't golf you can still help. Become a $300 Tournament Friend and you could win a pair of Red Sox tickets in the raffle! And if you are a golfer, please consider registering a foursome.
