“The need for hunger-relief efforts is acute,” Lary Stromfeld, a Cadwalader partner and founder of Justice Served, said.
Food Bank for New York City provides 58 million free meals annually to 1.4 million New Yorkers through a network of 1,000 charities and schools.
“In addition, during the recent government shutdown, thousands of federal employees showed up at pop-up food distribution sites organized by Food Bank,” Stromfeld said.
Law firms and legal departments can also support the Justice Served campaign by purchasing a table at Food Bank's Can Do Awards gala on April 16 at Cipriani Wall Street.
The campaign runs through March 15. Register at www.foodbanknyc.org/events/justice-served.
