Georgia Legal Food Frenzy Testimonials
Habachy Law
"I am honored to be participating in the Food Frenzy for the eleventh (11th) time. There is simply no better way to put my resources and contacts to use than to help raise money for families, most importantly children, who do not know where their next meal is coming from. And, candidly, I am not aware of any organization that does a better job of getting donations and contributions into the hands of those in need."
Bovis, Kyle, Burch & Medlin, LLC
"At Bovis Kyle, we understand that food insecurity is an issue that plagues many in our communities, whether temporary or long-term. Our goal is to assist those within our community who are unsure about from where their next meal will come. The Legal Food Frenzy, specifically, comes at a time when many school children are about to be without the availability of school meals, which makes these efforts even more crucial. We are thrilled to be able to participate in the Legal Food Frenzy annually and do our part to feed our community."

Magistrate Court of Fulton County
"We choose to work in the legal system to make the lives of Georgians and those living in Fulton County better. While the Magistrate Court of Fulton County works to Inform, Engage, and Empower our Community, there is no help so noble as serving families, children and seniors with the most basic needs, ensuring they have enough to eat. We enjoy supporting our community and the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy is a special opportunity we look forward to every year. With some additional attention and love, we can further serve the people who are desperately in need. The Georgia Food Bank is able to take so little and do so much with $1 producing up to 4 meals. We have been supporting this amazing organization for 4 years and it's always been worth it. We will keep joining the Frenzy for years to come!"
