The legal community's support provides 1.9 million meals
ATLANTA, GA, June 09, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta Community Food Bank, a leader in the fight against hunger in the Southeast, celebrated a successful 15th annual Legal Food Frenzy, raising an impressive $635,312, equivalent to 1.9 million meals. Georgia Legal Food Frenzy is a two-week fundraising competition held in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia, and Feeding Georgia. The competition serves as a call to action to confront hunger in the Southeast.
The 2026 Legal Food Frenzy kicked off in April with Volunteer Legal hosted at the Food Bank's Hunger Action Center. The event engaged volunteers who sorted and packed 11,857 pounds of food—providing 9,889 meals to food-insecure individuals in metro Atlanta and north Georgia.
"Collaborating with our local legal community for the past 15 years has been a partnership for which we are immensely grateful," said Kyle Waide, President & CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. " As the need for our services and resources increases, we are fortunate to have the support and dedication of legal professionals to help further our mission."
Georgia Legal Food Frenzy launched in 2012, and over the years, it has raised more than 32 million meals for food banks statewide, including over $6.2 million raised for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Teams compete to earn points by fundraising for their local food bank and promoting the competition, with multiple award categories and opportunities for statewide recognition.
More than 8,500 members of Georgia's legal community, including a coalition of 79 law firms and legal organizations in the Food Bank's service area, competed for the fundraiser's two statewide grand prize awards.
This year, Greenberg Traurig was awarded the President's Cup for accumulating the most overall points, and Habachy Law clinched the Attorney General's Cup for achieving the most points per person.
For the Atlanta-area region, Greenberg Traurig LLP won the Regional MVP award for total points, and Habachy Law won the Regional MVP award for per capita points. Additional honors included Rookie of the Year awarded to Offit Kurman, and Hunger Relief Champion to Emily Spiller. Bridger Law also received the Volunteer Legal Strength in Numbers Impact Award, whilst Smurfit Westrock was recognized with the Volunteer Legal Power in Participation Award.
