The Lafayette Bar Association has raised more than $10,000 to help Second Harvest Food Bank tackle childhood hunger in Acadiana.
The inaugural Food from The Bar campaign brought in $10,752 and 2,670 pounds of food donations from local firms for the food bank. There s been many efforts over the years that have helped children get the food they need when they need it most, but the Covid-19 pandemic has dealt a huge blow to those efforts. said Paul Scelfo, Regional Director for Second Harvest Food Bank of Acadiana. The amazing generosity of 18 local law firms is a firm statement that together we will help make sure our children stay healthy.
