NCAJ Members’ Food Bank Drive A Success: Almost 12,000 pounds of food donated!

Over one million North Carolinians live in poverty and 1 in 4 children in this state are food insecure*.

Food banks play a vital role in serving the community and NCAJ members have been honored to help by supporting the NCAJ New Lawyers Division’s Food Bank Drive.

NCAJ members donated 11,651 pounds of food and $8,279 to support 11 food banks across the state this holiday season!!

The receiving food banks included the Food Bank of Eastern & Central North Carolina; Manna Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina in Asheville; Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina and Northwest North Carolina; Community Soup Kitchen in Goldsboro; Hope Mission in Morehead City; Martha’s Mission in Morehead City; Hope Station in Wilson; Operation Inasmuch in Fayetteville; Christian United Outreach Center in Sanford; and Food Pantry at Millbrook United Methodist Church in Raleigh.

Several of the participating law firms have extended their drive through the end of December, which will increase our tally even more!!! See below for a list of law firms that made this drive a great success:
