Many Iowans, due to poverty, disability, or circumstance, struggle and lose their way in our legal system. Iowa Legal Aid exists to provide them access to justice. Ultimately Justice comes to mean housing families, while providing safety from domestic abuse, and security for the nearly 45,000 predominately women, children, people with disabilities and elderly Iowans served each year. Iowa Legal Aid serves as a safety net for thousands of low-income Iowans who require legal representation to secure the basic necessities of their lives.
Sadly, in 2007, more than 12,000 families were turned away or under served because we lack the resources to secure ‘Justice for All’
Introducing the Iowa Legal Aid Foundation
The Iowa Legal Aid Foundation is dedicated to raising the funds necessary to increase and sustain the services of Iowa Legal Aid. We hope that you share our belief that hope, dignity and justice are due to all Iowans regardless of income.
With your help Iowa Legal Aid will be there when…
• families unjustly face homelessness
• women and children seek escape from violence and abuse
• elderly Iowans are denied their dignity
And with your help, the vision of Justice for All will be realized in Iowa.
