Volunteer Lawyers Birmingham wins Women's Fund Grant
|
|
For the second year in a row, VLB has secured a grant from
The Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham
. This award means we will continue to focus on the legal needs of single women and their children, the group most likely to experience poverty in our region. Our continuing partnership with The Women’s Fund is a prime example of the value of collaboration among nonprofits.
