PA State Representative Jill Cooper and Summit Legal Aid are hosting a Summer Summit in New Kensington on August 9, 2024 from 1:00 PM-4:00 PM Eastern. 

Join the event at Valley Points YMCA, located at 800 Constitution Blvd, New Kensington, PA 15068, for an afternoon of community fun and to learn more about services for people in need of assistance. 

New Kensington and Westmoreland County residents are welcome to join the activities and refreshments and learn about services provided by Summit Legal Aid and Representative Jill Cooper's office. All attendees will be entered for a free basket raffle.

Formerly Laurel Legal Services, Summit Legal Aid provides free legal help to qualified residents in 10 counties, including Westmoreland. As a newly merged organization, Summit Legal Aid is visiting different communities in its service area to inform residents about its vital work.

“It is not uncommon for a constituent to come to our office with a heartbreaking story. My staff and I have shed more than a few tears and we know Summit Legal Aid’s services can fill an important gap, providing a much-needed lifeline to those in need,” said Cooper. “The event planned for Friday will help make certain the community knows Summit is here and may be able to help.”

“We’re so excited to team with Rep. Cooper, and we appreciate her and her staff’s commitment to serve the residents of New Kensington. This is a great opportunity to work together,” said Summit Legal Aid Executive Director Brian Gorman. “The residents of New Kensington are resilient, proud of their history and look forward to the future. Summit Legal Aid’s staff of over 60 works to ensure that justice is for everyone, not just for those who can afford an attorney.”

This event is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is encouraged for food planning, but not required.
