Law firms and other legal organizations raised more than $190,000 in online donations for the Atlanta Community Food Bank over the two-week Georgia Legal Food Frenzy.

Final totals will be determined in the next few weeks, as donations of cans and other supplies are tallied. The online donations alone can feed more than 9,000 families of four people for a week. That figure is based on three meals per person per day, and the food bank's ability to turn $1 into four meals.

The Frenzy organizers–Attorney General Chris Carr, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia and the Georgia Food Bank Association–will count results from around the state and issue awards in a host of categories. The sixth annual event benefits Georgia's eight regional food banks, which supply food for neighborhood agencies that serve people in need. Agency directors said many of their clients have full-time jobs but cannot make ends meet.
