On Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28, HBA members and partners came together for HBA Days of Service, one of HBA President Daniella Landers’ key initiatives for the 2025–2026 bar year. The event united our legal community across eight volunteer opportunities—both legal and non-legal—organized in partnership with HBA committees and local organizations.
Volunteers restored IDs and helped clear records for individuals experiencing homelessness at The Beacon, advised and represented veterans at a legal clinic, and assisted individuals at a Protective Order Legal Clinic. Members also sorted and distributed books with Books Between Kids, helped foster youth get prom-ready at HAY Center, sorted food at the Houston Food Bank, and participated in a community cleanup at Kuhlman Gully.
Together, these projects showcased the power of service and strengthened our shared commitment to building a stronger Houston. Thank you to all of our Days of Service partners and volunteers for helping make this initiative a success and for changing hundreds of lives in the process.
Thank You to Our Spring Partners!

“I am incredibly proud of the difference Houston attorneys make when we come together to make a meaningful impact on our local community. As attorneys, volunteerism isn’t just part of our professional responsibility. It also demonstrates how integrated our members are to the fabric of Houston. I want to thank our incredible volunteers and partner organizations for your dedication to the HBA Days of Service."
From restoring IDs and clearing records for individuals experiencing homelessness at The Beacon to advising and representing veterans at a legal clinic, members put their skills to work for those in need.
