Feeding Southwest Virginia recently wrapped up its participation in the 15th annual statewide Legal Food Frenzy, where three Southwest Virginia law firms top won awards.
Twenty-one law offices and organizations in a 26-county, nine-city service area joined in the competition, hosting creative activities designed to raise food and funds for local food banks.

Their generosity will make a lasting difference in the lives of others.â
