The Georgia Legal Food Frenzy Rules & Scoring Guide

The Georgia Legal Food Frenzy is a statewide fundraising competition presented in collaboration with the Office of the Georgia Attorney General, the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia, and Feeding Georgia. This friendly, high-impact competition rallies law firms, legal organizations, judicial circuits, and corporate in-house counsel to support regional food banks serving all 159 counties across the state.

Since its inception, the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy has raised $5.9 million — the equivalent of more than 23 million meals for Georgians facing hunger. Georgia's Feeding Georgia member food banks play a crucial role in the fight against food insecurity, operating through a network of over 2,000 partner agencies and faith-based organizations. Together, they distribute more than 205 million pounds of food each year to those who need it most.
