What Is It?

Legal Food Frenzy (LFF) is an annual fundraising competition created in partnership with the Virginia Attorney General, the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the Virginia Bar Association, and the Federation of Virginia Food Banks.

The LFF is open to EVERYONE across the Virginia legal community. Now – more than ever – each law firm, law school, legal organization, and corporate/in-house counsel can have the biggest impact on hunger. Everything your team raises benefits the regional food bank that serves YOUR community.

More than 20 million pounds of food have been donated to hungry families through Virginia's seven regional food banks and 1,100 partner agencies.

How Does It Work?

It's simple! Registration opens on March 1, 2024, and the competition will run from April 15 - April 26. Register your organization here, and you will be connected with your local food bank. If your organization has multiple offices across the state, each office must register with its regional food bank.

Check with your local food bank representative for their current food donations and volunteering policy. Online fundraising is always encouraged, but any checks collected can be mailed to your food bank at the end of the LFF (more information will be sent after your team registers).

How Do I Win?

All private firms with 1 – 99 employees will compete against each other by service area on a per capita basis. Each of the seven food bank service areas will have one winner based on the total amount raised per employee.

Large-sized firms (100 or more employees), Government/Public Service firms, Corporate Legal Departments, and Law Schools will compete statewide. Each category will have two winners -- one winner based on the total amount raised per employee/student and one winner based on the total amount raised overall.
