Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, Feeding Georgia, and the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the State Bar of Georgia are launching the 14th Annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy, a two-week fundraising event for the state’s regional food banks. The competition will take place from April 14-25, 2025, and invites all members of the legal community, including law firms, legal organizations, corporate counsel, clerks, and judges. Since it started, the Legal Food Frenzy has raised $6. 7 million, providing over 26. 8 million meals to those in need. This year, the goal is to surpass previous totals and assist even more families, children, and seniors facing food shortages. Attorney General Carr encourages lawyers to donate the equivalent of one billable hour to help provide more meals. Each dollar raised supplies up to four meals for struggling Georgians. The initiative is vital as nearly one in eight children in Georgia is at risk of hunger. Registration for the 2025 Georgia Legal Food Frenzy is open until April 25th.
