Donate to CCLA
Did you know that last year Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South (CCLA) assisted more than 2,000 people at no charge?
Although the primary sources of funding for CCLA come from Legal Services Corporation (LSC), grants from foundations, special events, donations from members and caring individuals in the community play are major role in our success within the community.
Individual donations make up a critical and increasing portion of our budget.
Your support can enable a family – or several families who may be:
- Victims of domestic violence
- In great need of public assistance
- Facing foreclosure

Holiday Adopt A Family
Each year we invite law firms, social groups, sports teams and families to become an adopter in our Holiday Adopt A Family project. The staff at CCLA identify families who cannot afford a holiday celebration and matches them with an “Adopter”. Some examples of presents include: electronics, bikes, games, clothes, books, toys, and gift certificates for children and families who would not have had a holiday celebration without your generosity. Last year, we were able to provide 164 families – (including 39 seniors and 303 children) – with presents and gifts cards for the holiday season.
In-kind contributions allow CCLA to continue to provide services to our clients as they build a new life for themselves and their families. For more information, click here.
