March Spotlight Mission—Legal Services of North Florida. The LMC is looking forward to working with Legal Services of North Florida during March. We have invited them to present at our worship services on Sunday, March 19, and we will be hosting a legal clinic on the following Thursday. This is an opportunity for those in our community who do not have access to legal advice to come to our church and learn about what can be done to help them in many areas.
Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) is a private nonprofit law firm serving 16 counties in North Florida. They provide civil legal help at no cost to vulnerable residents who cannot afford legal help and qualify for services. Civil legal assistance can be anything from accessing social security benefits, disputing tax issues with the IRS, fighting illegal evictions, protecting victims of violence, disaster recovery, and so much more. LSNF’s mission is to provide an opportunity for justice for those in our communities who don’t have access to the courts.
