Giving Back: Making a Difference This Season

Supporting Legal Council

As we enter the season of giving, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can make a lasting impact in our communities. This year, we invite you to support Legal Council on Giving Tuesday and throughout the year-end giving season. Your generosity can create significant change in the lives of those who need it most.

Legal Council is dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to the healthcare and support they deserve. We provide essential legal assistance to individuals facing barriers to healthcare, advocate for patients’ rights, and work towards systemic changes that promote health equity. By addressing the legal challenges that affect health outcomes, we empower individuals to navigate the complex healthcare system.

As you consider what matters most this season, we encourage you to commit to building a more just health system. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference—both to our organization and to our peer organizations. Together, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life.

 

Local Volunteer Opportunities

In addition to financial support, the fall season, with its spirit of gratitude, is also a wonderful opportunity to engage with your community through volunteering. Here are some local organizations looking for help this holiday season:

• Chicago Park District: Seeking long- and short-term volunteers for various tasks, including clean-up, coaching, and after-school mentoring.
• Greater Chicago Food Depository: Looking for individuals to pack, distribute, and deliver food to those in need.
• Cradles to Crayons: Volunteers are needed to assist in the Giving Factory, where you can help check, sort, and package donated goods.
• National Immigrant Justice Center: Seeking individuals to offer translation services to assist immigrants in navigating legal challenges.
• Pro Bono Network: Actively seeking attorneys (active, inactive, retired, or out-of-state) and translators to provide crucial legal support.

This holiday season, whether through a financial contribution or volunteering your time, you have the power to make a meaningful impact in your community. Let’s come together to support those in need and foster a more equitable health system for all.
