Several law firms in town, including Hunton & Williams, LeClairRyan, and McGuireWoods, have issued a challenge to their litigious brethren in an attempt to collect food and raise money for the hungry. Dubbed the Legal Food Frenzy, the challenge was created by The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network, and is now in its third year.

Basically, the firm that makes the most non-perishable food donations and donates the most money to the Central Virginia Food Bank wins. Apparently, an award ceremony will take place in front of the Free Speech Wall on the Downtown Mall, though no date for that has been scheduled. Firms can sign up online at cvfb.org.

Last year, the food bank reports that over 12.6 million pounds of food was handed out to people in need, and that 36 percent of it went to children living in poverty. So come on, all you legal eagles, put your food and your money where the hungry’s mouths are. And hurry! The contest ends this week.
