Attorneys Against Hunger campaign raises over $119,000 for local hunger agencies
The ACBF is pleased to announce that the 2008/2009 Attorneys Against Hunger campaign has raised a record amount of more than $119,000 for fourteen local hunger agencies. Through the generous donations of bar members, ACBA sections, law firms, companies and organizations, the campaign has far exceeded its $100,000 goal, ensuring that local food pantries receive much-needed assistance during this difficult economic time.
Special thanks go out to LexisNexis which has again partnered with the bar foundation in the fight against hunger by underwriting the administrative costs of the campaign, allowing the foundation to donate
100% of the proceeds to local hunger agencies.
Special thanks also to Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellot, LLC; the McGinley family members of the bar; and the Rita M. McGinley Foundation who, for the sixth consecutive year, have shown their dedication to the fight against hunger through a $15,000 grant to Attorneys Against Hunger. This grant makes a significant impact on the campaign.
Thanks again to everyone who helped to make this year's campaign the most successful to date!
