Pro Bono Week takes place every year in October (10/21-10/25) and celebrates the pro bono ethic of the thousands of professionals who volunteer their skills and professional expertise to support nonprofits all around the world. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support for our pro bono programs. The time you have donated to help our community makes a difference in the lives of the individuals and families that we serve.
