In partnership with the local legal community, Golden Harvest Food Bank is collecting donations for the 12th annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy competition and local law groups are needed to assist with collection efforts. The goal of the contest is to help feed children during the summer months when schools are closed.

Each year, the Georgia Attorney General, the State Bar, and the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar collaborate with Feeding Georgia, the network of food banks in the state, to raise funds to help feed children in need in the community. In 2022, the local legal community collectively raised $33,056 for Golden Harvest Food Bank, which equates to over 99,000 meals.

The Georgia Legal Food Frenzy contest runs for two weeks from April 17 – 28 and all monetary donations collected locally are donated directly to Golden Harvest Food Bank to provide food for children located in the organization’s 11,000 square mile service area during the summer months.

“1 in 5 children in our area are struggling with hunger, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the collective efforts of our legal partners in the CSRA for coming together to help us with our mission of making sure that no child goes hungry.” says Amy Breitmann, President & CEO, Golden Harvest Food Bank.

Law firms, legal organizations, corporate or in-house counsel, clerks, and judges are encouraged to sign up at www.galegalfoodfrenzy.org/sign-up. Teams that register for the Legal Food Frenzy competition by the early deadline of April 1st will receive bonus points to add to their final score. Groups will still have the opportunity to register after the early deadline and throughout the duration of the competition.
