The pace of donations in Atlanta slowed on the third day of the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy, the annual event in which the legal community raises funds for the state's food banks.
Donations for the Atlanta Community Food Bank on Wednesday moved from $48,000 to $58,000, or from 19 percent to 23 percent of a $250,000 goal.
Among the legal offices competing to raise the most in Atlanta, the top of the scorecard remained the same as the first two days, with the Georgia Institute of Technology Office of Legal Affairs in the top spot, with $11,170, and Joe S. Habachy, PC, Attorney at Law on its heels, with $8,705.
The other top teams as of 5 p.m. Wednesday were: DeKalb County Public Defender's Office ($3,316); Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP ($2,556); Jones Day ($1,780); Chilivis Cochran Larkins & Bever, LLP ($1,570); Davis, Pickren, Seydel & Sneed, LLP ($1,350); Troutman Sanders ($1,320); Lueder, Larkin & Hunter LLC ($1,255) and the DeKalb County Law Department ($1,150).
The event is timed so that food banks can stock up for the coming months when Georgia children can't get the meals they rely on during the school year. One in four of all Georgia children don't know where their next meal is coming from, the food banks say.
Last year the whole event, sponsored by the state Attorney General Chris Carr, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar and the Georgia Food Banks Association, raised a record $329,000 and 19,000 pounds of food for Georgia's food banks.
