Raise the Bar. End Hunger.

The Legal Community’s Response to Hunger

For five weeks, local law firms and legal professionals came together for one purpose: to end hunger in this region, where 1 in 8 residents are at risk of hunger.

This year, the Kansas City law community came together to help Harvesters provide 53,628 meals! During the challenge, 78 members of the law community volunteered at Harvesters, plus $17,499 and 1,357 pounds of food were donated. Thank you!
