WHY? To fight hunger
North Carolina has historically been one of the hungriest states in the U.S. Before the pandemic, a reported 1.4 million North Carolinians were struggling with hunger – and, of them, 400,000 were children. Approximately 1 in 7 people and 1 in 5 children are facing hunger. The Legal Feeding Frenzy is an opportunity for the legal community to come together to make a difference in the fight against hunger.
WHO? Legal practitioners and law students/schools in North Carolina
Sole Practitioner, Small Firm, Medium Firm, Large Firm, Law School, Government/Public Interest, and Corporate/In-House Counsel compete for the most donations.
