So far in 2026 we have had 129 pro bono volunteers from 30 firms. More than 2,000 hours were dedicated to helping our neighbors access justice.

During this National Celebration of Pro Bono, we’re honoring the Legal Aid SMC volunteers who turn their legal skills into meaningful support for our community.

Their generosity and commitment have helped our clients stay safe, understand their rights, and move forward with confidence. Behind every hour of service is a person or family who has someone in their corner.

To our pro bono volunteers: thank you for showing up, sharing your expertise, and helping make access to justice a reality.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for FallFest! We’re still feeling the energy from such a wonderful day and are so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. It was amazing and encouraging to see so many people come out in support of Legal Aid SMC and our mission to provide free civil legal services to San Mateo County.

In honor of FallFest and our Legal Aid SMC community, our Board of Directors is kindly offering $20,000 to match all donations made through the end of this week (9/13).

Community connection matters, especially as families prepare for a new school year.

We were honored to table at the Immigration Forum and Community Resource Fair in Redwood City this past weekend, where we had the opportunity to connect with community members and share information about legal resources for families.

Thank you to Assemblymember Diane Papan and Senator Josh Becker for bringing the community together and inviting Legal Aid SMC to participate. We’re grateful to be part of this important work!
