Annual Campaign Justice is a word often spoken in the context of the legal system, but seldom clearly defined. For 23 years VLAS has corrected injustices for thousands of vulnerable families living in poverty throughout Central, Southside and Western Tidewater Virginia. VLAS, a non profit law firm, serves the entire community by providing free information, advice and representation on matters that threaten or disrupt family stability. Without VLAS's legal assistance and expertise, many low-income families would lose housing, medical care, or child custody. A livable home for a 62 year old single woman whose previous home had only two working outlets, no running water, and a wood stove that required she chop her own wood for heat Continuation of nursing home care for an 83 year old diabetic woman receiving dialysis treatments which ensures medication and control for her diabetes The acquisition of food stamps for a mentally retarded woman with limited literacy.
