Pisgah Legal aids fight for poor Western North Carolina children
Eleanor Owen endorses Pisgah Legal Services and their Children’s Law Project as they provide free civil legal aid to thousands of low income families in six mountain counties. The piece notes 70,000 children helped over twenty years and 15,000 people aided last year, including 5,500 children in WNC. It cites 2015 Henderson County outcomes and cites Marian Wright Edelman’s remarks at a regional poverty forum.
