Welcome to Food From The Bar 2019!
For five weeks every year, the legal community comes together for one purpose: to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin, where one in four people is at risk of hunger. Participating firms and companies enter into a friendly competition to fundraise for and contribute the most volunteer hours to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Over the past 27 years, the Food From The Bar campaign has provided enough food for more than 20 million meals!
Join us to provide at least 2 million more!
