(RIVIERA BEACH, Fla.) — Florida Rural Legal Services (FRLS) Outreach Coordinator Paralegal, based at the organization's Riviera Beach/WPB office, recently attended a couple of community outreach events in Palm Beach County with fellow staff, where the non-profit law firm spoke with residents about free legal aid services available in the area.
Photos taken at the events highlight FRLS’s continued commitment to educating local communities about its essential legal services, which are aimed at providing access to justice for low-income individuals and families.
“We’re proud to be able to connect with the community and share information about the legal aid available to them,” said Denise Badaracco, director of Communications & Marketing. “Events like these help ensure that residents are aware of the support they can receive when navigating legal challenges.”
The importance of outreach in providing legal aid cannot be overstated. Many individuals in underserved communities are unaware of the legal resources available to them, and without outreach, they may never receive the assistance they need. By attending local events and engaging directly with the community, FRLS helps bridge the gap, ensuring that more residents are connected with free legal services, especially when facing issues like family law disputes, housing problems, or public benefit challenges.
FRLS offers free legal assistance on a wide range of issues, including family law, housing, public benefits, and disaster relief, with the goal of ensuring all individuals have access to the justice they deserve.
