More than 1.6 million Georgians need food assistance.A large number of those in need are children, senior citizens, and working families, but Georgia’s persistently high unemployment rate continues to drive record high demand by individuals who have lost their jobs and are having problems making ends meet. The Office of the Attorney General and the State Bar of Georgia are partnering with the Georgia Food Bank Association to host a statewide Legal Food Frenzy, a food and fund drive competition among all Georgia law firms and organizations. Firms will compete to collect the most food (based on a per person average – attorneys and staff). The law firm or organization that raises the most food will be awarded the prestigious and highly coveted “Attorney General’s Cup.” Other awards will be given in small, medium, and large size firm categories. To reach our goal, we need each and every law firm, legal department, law office, law school, and court in Georgia to participate. To learn more, download the printable brochure here. |

“It is an honor to be a part of the inaugural Georgia Legal Food Frenzy. In this tough economic environment, many Georgia families are turning to their local food banks to put food on the table. I know that the legal community will rise to the challenge and do our part to reduce hunger in Georgia.” – Attorney General Sam Olens |

“In Depression 2.0, with its grinding unemployment, over half a million Georgia kids live in poverty and one out of six Georgians lack access to adequate food. We in the legal profession have been blessed to be a blessing to others. I urge all members of the legal community in Georgia to help our less fortunate neighbors through the Legal Food Frenzy. Give until it feels good!” – Ken Shigley, President, State Bar of Georgia |
