The Shore Law Firm Charity Initiative
Throughout the year we privately (and quietly) support a variety of programs and charities. To encourage others to give and to help promote the causes that touch the lives of our clients or family, we are taking some of our giving public and have created The Shore Law Firm Charity Initiative. In the spirit of “paying it forward,” our goal is to promote and donate to a different charity/program each month. If you have a senior-oriented program near and dear to your heart, please share it with us and we will consider highlighting here. As this page evolves, you will be able to learn more about the organization and events, and to make your own contribution to these important causes. Thank you for your support!
