The 13th annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy kicks off April 15 and runs through April 26. The Georgia Legal Food Frenzy, an annual two-week virtual fundraising competition open to Georgia-based legal professionals, invites members of the legal community to aid in the fight against hunger by raising funds for Georgians in need. Firms of all sizes and legal practices including corporate and in-house counsel are encouraged to participate. Registration is now open and teams that register by April 1 will automatically earn 100 bonus points!

The friendly annual competition raises awareness for food insecurity throughout Georgia and is held in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia, and the Georgia Food Bank Association. Last year's Atlanta area participants aided the Atlanta Community Food Bank in raising more than $680,000 or an estimated 2 million meals.

“We are incredibly grateful for the local legal community for supporting us in our fight against hunger,” said Kyle Waide, President & CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. “The contribution from the Legal Food Frenzy directly impacts the Food Banks service area, allowing us to provide critical resources for food insecure families, seniors, and adults.”

All funds remain local and benefit the area food bank. This year's initiative aims to raise $700,000 in relief funds or the equivalent of 2.1 million meals. Since its inception in 2012, Legal Food Frenzy has raised the equivalent of 20 million meals for Georgia's food banks statewide, including more than $3.7 million raised for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
