BUT! We are excited to announce our Virtual 5K taking place the week of October 10 through October 17!
- We will provide walking and running routes,
- There will be a silent auction, and
- We will honor our volunteer awardees.
- Stay tuned for more details as the event date approaches!
- Please contact Karen Nath at karen@laocmn.org with any questions.

Legal Assistance of Olmsted County

Legal Assistance of Olmsted County is pleased to announce that it received a $10,000 COVID relief grant from the Minnesota State Bar Foundation for its work providing civil legal aid during the pandemic. Thank you to the MSBF for its generosity.
LAOC always can use new volunteers! The time you donate to help someone in poverty with a civil legal problem makes a big difference. Opportunities include:
- Staffing a virtual clinic (only a two-hour time commitment!);
- Providing a one-time consultation to a client; or
- Taking a case for full representation.
To our current volunteers who have provided valuable assistance during the pandemic-- a HUGE SHOUT-OUT! Thank you!
To volunteer or for more information, please email Karen Nath at karen@laocmn.org.
