Support 60 Years of Justice

Save the Date: 60th Anniversary Gala is August 8, 2026!

For sixty years, North Mississippi Rural Legal Services (NMRLS) has been a pillar of justice in communities across North Mississippi. Since 1966, we have provided free civil legal assistance to individuals and families facing some of life's most difficult challenges, helping secure safe housing, protect family stability, and preserve economic opportunity.

As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we are looking toward the future. To honor this milestone and strengthen our ability to serve those in need, we have set a goal of raising $60,000 before our 60th Anniversary Gala on August 8, 2026.

Every gift helps make justice accessible for people who otherwise could not afford legal representation. Whether you choose to give in memory of a loved one, in honor of a friend or family member, or simply because you believe in equal access to justice, your contribution creates a lasting impact in our communities.
