Just $21K to go... says CFJ Chair Andrew Brown

February is here, bringing back more hours of daylight and the promise of spring. Whether or not the ground hog saw his shadow doesn’t change that fact that there are only about 6 more weeks until the 2016 Campaign for Justice ends.
​
Pledges currently stand at just over 92% of the $280,000 goal. Just a little over $21,000 is needed to reach this year’s goal. In the grand scheme of things, $21k is not that much, but without it, the civil legal service agencies would leave an even wider gap in the unmet needs of Rochester’s poverty level residents.

Assistance with tenant evictions, child custody, and consumer debt are just some of the areas where a lawyer’s help and guidance will likely make a significant difference in outcome. Even now we only meet some of the community’s needs, and the full Campaign for Justice goal is needed to maintain status quo.
​
For those campaign donors who were putting off their pledge until the new year, the time is now to make your contribution. Campaign Cabinet members, volunteers, and legal agency staff have likely phoned or nudged you a couple of times, so your follow through now is most welcome.
