Anderson & Kreiger associates have participated in the Greater Boston Legal Services (GBLS) Associates Fundraising Drive since 2007, raising money to support GBLS’s mission to provide free legal assistance to as many low-income families as possible to help them secure some of the most basic necessities of life.

GBLS is a nonprofit organization that provides free civil legal services to low-income individuals, families, and community groups in the Greater Boston area who otherwise cannot afford to hire and retain an attorney.  Their clients include victims of domestic violence and their children needing protections against abuse; homeless families seeking emergency shelter or permanent housing; families in need of subsistence benefits; low-income renters facing possible homelessness; elders and disabled individuals in need of critical income and medical benefits; immigrants fleeing torture and persecution needing protection in our country; and low-wage workers denied their earned wages and benefits.

For the last three years, the firm has won the High Performer Award.  The High Performer Award recognizes outstanding firm performance with respect to the average gift amount.

Anderson & Kreiger is proud to support GBLS and our associates, and annually matches our associates’ fundraising efforts in the GBLS Associates Fundraising Drive.
