The LaStraw (pronounced "last" "straw") is a community based nonprofit organization working to address issues perpetuating poverty in economically distressed and under-resourced areas.

Our mission is to create an accessible network of human and social services empowering people living in economically distressed and under-resourced areas improve their quality of life.
