The funds raised this year are the equivalent of over 3.7 million meals that will help Georgia families and food-insecure individuals put food on the table in this uncertain time.Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Georgia food banks have been dealing with greatly increased demand over the past year. Demand is likely to remain high as the state recovers from the impact of the virus.Butler Kahn personal injury attorney Morgan Lyndall, who serves as a co-chair of the competition, worked tirelessly promoting this year\u2019s fundraising competition throughout the state. As part of the competition, 210 Georgia law firms and legal organizations, comprising over 19,000 legal representatives, fundraised for two top prizes: the Attorney General\u2019s Cup and the Bar President\u2019s Cup. Special prizes for firms of different sizes and types were also awarded.\u201cI became chair of the Legal Food Frenzy Committee the same day I found out that I passed the bar,\u201d Lyndall said. \u201cSince that time, Legal Food Frenzy has grown 117 percent from $400,325.00 in 2018 to $936,883.10 in 2021. During my first three years as Legal Food Frenzy chair, Georgia\u2019s legal community raised $2,212,654.15 for Georgia\u2019s food banks, which is roughly the equivalent of 8,756,209 meals that have been distributed to the Georgia community through its food banks.\u201dGeorgia Attorney General Chris Carr released a statement citing the impressive statistics. \u201cFor ten years, our network has rallied together to do our part to end food insecurity in our own backyard. In 2020, Georgia attorneys ramped up efforts to support the emergency response and helped the food banks to provide 3.3 million meals to our neighbors. This year, we doubled-down to beat last year\u2019s numbers and raised another 3.7 million meals for the food banks. I am incredibly proud of the collective efforts of our community and am thankful to everyone who helps to make this impact possible each year.\u201dThe fundraiser competition was first started back in 2012 and has raised enough money to provide 17 million meals to food-insecure children, families, and seniors in the years since. Butler Kahn is proud to be part of that tradition, especially in this time of great need.\u201cOur food banks are incredibly grateful for ten years of partnership with Georgia\u2019s legal community,\u201d said Danah Craft, Executive Director of the Georgia Food Bank Association. \u201cGeorgia’s lawyers and legal professionals continue to aid us in our mission to feed more hungry children, seniors, and families. Our deepest appreciation goes to the Attorney General\u2019s Office, State Bar, Young Lawyers Division, and every participant for the boundless energy and compassion that drives this historic event.\u201dYou can find out more information about the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy on their website."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Young Lawyers Division\u2019s Legal Food Frenzy Raises $936,883.10 for Meals","item":"https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/blog\/young-lawyers-divisions-legal-food-frenzy-raises-936883-10-for-meals\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
