Why Should I get Involved?

Food insecurity is the lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy lifestyle. One in nine people in North Carolina are food insecure as of 2022 (Rabbitt et al, 2023). Feeding the Carolinas’ NC Food Banks report an increase of up to four times the demand for food since before the pandemic (2023). The Legal Feeding Frenzy is an opportunity for the legal community to come together to make a difference in the fight against hunger.

Where Can I Get More Information?

Legal Feeding Frenzy is an annual joint program of the North Carolina Bar Association Young Lawyers Division and Feeding the Carolinas food banks, supported by a grant from the North Carolina Bar Foundation Endowment.
