Thank you to everyone who joined us for the CLS Volunteer Appreciation Celebration! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and we are truly grateful for each and every one of you! Our volunteers are the heart of CLS. Without your dedication, we simply couldn’t provide the level of support and access to justice that our community deserves.
