Raise the Bar. End Hunger.

The Legal Community’s Response to Hunger

For five weeks, local law firms and legal professionals come together for one purpose: to end hunger in this region, where 1 in 7 residents are at risk of hunger.

Join us April 1 - May 3 for a collaboration and competition between firms to fundraise, collect food and contribute volunteer hours for Harvesters! Last year, Food From the Bar provided more than 78,000 meals to the hungry in our community!

How it Works:
- Create a virtual food drive for your team.
- Set a goal for how many pounds and/or dollars your firm will raise this year.
- Earn points for your firm, team or organization.
- Rally your co-workers to have fun and beat hunger.

How to Earn Points:
Every pound collected = 1 point
Every dollar donated = 5 points
Every volunteer shift = 50 points*
Any volunteer signing in with your team/firm name counts toward your total.

*Create a virtual food drive for your team before March 29 and earn 250 bonus points! If your firm makes an initial gift at registration, we'll triple your points on that gift! You can also earn double points on bonus volunteer days. Check out those dates on the calendar of events.
