Pro Bono Help Need for WNC Neighbors Impacted by Hurricane Fred

The Buncombe County Bar Pro Bono Committee is asking Bar members to assist with the North Carolina Disaster Legal Services (DLS) effort to help those impacted by Hurricane Fred in WNC. The DLS pro bono program provides disaster-related resources and services to the public and attorneys with the support of FEMA, Legal Aid of North Carolina, the North Carolina Bar Foundation, the NCBA Young Lawyers Division, and the NC Pro Bono Resource Center. DLS attorney volunteers will assist clients with filing FEMA claims, as well as other legal needs. Training will be provided.

There is an immediate need for attorney volunteers; most volunteer work can be done remotely.
