Food From the Bar is the legal community’s response to hunger in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region.
From May 1–31, 2024, law firms & legal professionals will compete to win the most points supporting the Capital Area Food Bank.
Each dollar donated not only earns points for your team, it provides two meals for someone in need!
In 2023, almost 40 legal firms helped raise nearly $550,000 through Food From The Bar DC, providing more than a million meals to children and families.
Join us for our 2024 kickoff lunch: Wednesday, March 6, from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. at DLA Piper.
