2020 Legal Food Frenzy kicks off to help feed people in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – The 2020 Legal Food Frenzy kicked off Friday. It’s a statewide competition that challenges Kentucky’s legal community to raise resources for hunger relief.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron made the announcement. He says it’s a collaborative effort between his office and the Kentucky Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. Officials say the campaign has raised the equivalent of over 1,000,000 meals in the past three years.

Proceeds and goods generated from the competition will support the work of Feeding Kentucky, a statewide food bank network that distributes 72,000,000 meals annually in partnership with 800 local charitable feeding organizations. Its members serve all 120 counties in Kentucky.

The goal of this year’s campaign is to raise 800,000 pounds of food or $100,000 before March 14.

The organization or firm that raises the most food and funds will win the Attorney General’s Cup, signifying their accomplishment in aiding hunger-relief in Kentucky.

Anyone may participate and help their favorite law firm, law school or legal organizations win the competition by making a donation on their behalf at KyFoodFrenzy.com/donate.
