At Riverside Legal Aid, we believe that everyone—regardless of income—deserves access to justice. Every day, we help individuals and families across Riverside County navigate complex legal challenges, from eviction and bankruptcy to family law and guardianship. These services are provided completely free of charge to qualifying low-income residents, thanks in large part to the generosity of donors like you.

Your support makes a real difference. Donations help us expand our reach, maintain vital legal clinics, and serve the growing number of people who need help but can’t afford an attorney. Whether it’s a single mother seeking child support, a senior facing housing insecurity, or a veteran in need of legal guidance, your contribution ensures that no one has to face the legal system alone.

Riverside Legal Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donation is fully tax-deductible. Every dollar you give helps protect vulnerable members of our community and strengthens access to justice across our region. Thank you for standing with us.
