The Office of the Attorney General, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia, and the Georgia Food Bank Association have joined forces to create a friendly food and fund drive competition among Georgia law firms, law schools, legal organizations, and corporate, in-house counsel to support the Georgia Food Bank Association, which is comprised of 7 Regional Food Banks serving across the state. In its first six years, this competition has raised nearly $2 million for the Food Banks. Georgia’s Food Banks work through a network of nearly 2,000 partner agencies and faith-based organizations to distribute over 130 million pounds of food annually to Georgians who need it the most.
The Legal Food Frenzy comes at a critical time for the Food Banks. Over 60% of Georgia’s public school children are eligible for free and reduced lunch. The Legal Food Frenzy provides a much needed supply of food and funds to Georgia’s regional Food Banks to help the families of those kids during summer months when schools are closed.
