The month of March is well known for its spirited competition. March Madness? No, we’re talking about the NC Legal Feeding Frenzy! NC Legal Feeding Frenzy is an annual joint program of the NCBA Young Lawyers Division and Feeding the Carolinas food banks. It aims to fight hunger across North Carolina by uniting the legal community in support of local food banks. Over half of all soup kitchens, food pantries and other meal programs rely entirely on volunteers.
In response to this urgent need, the Office of the Attorney General, The Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar Association, the North Carolina Bar Foundation, and Feeding The Carolinas have joined efforts to create the North Carolina Legal Feeding Frenzy—a food and fund drive competition among all North Carolina law firms, law schools, and organizations to assist Feeding The Carolinas’ Food Banks. In this friendly competition, the law firm, school, or organization with the highest average individual donation (calculated by the team’s total donations divided by the team’s total number of donors) will be awarded the prestigious and highly coveted “Attorney General’s Cup.”
Registering teams are asked to designate a local Feeding the Carolinas food bank to which that office will make its donations. Legal firms and organizations are encouraged to select Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to support when completing the team application page. Registration opens February 22 at 8 a.m. 1,000 “Early Bird” bonus pounds will be awarded for teams that register between February 22-24th. Teams that register between February 25th – February 28th will receive 500 bonus pounds. Registration continues until the last day of competition, March 31.
