NORTH DAKOTA ATTORNEYS COLLECT MORE THAN
10,000 MEALS FOR GREAT PLAINS FOOD BANK
The Young Lawyer Section (YLS) of the State
Bar Association of North Dakota collected
10,548 meals for the Great Plains Food Bank
during its YLS Feed Your Community food
drive held March 31 to April 10.
In total, the North Dakota attorneys collected
4,569 pounds of food, which equals 3,808
meals. Total monetary donations amounted to
$1,685, equaling 6,740 meals. Every 1.2 pounds
of food is equivalent to one meal and every $1
is four meals. Legal communities across the
state competed to raise meals to support those
in need.
The YLS hosted the largest state-wide food and
funds drive that has been held in the 33-year
history of the Great Plains Food Bank.
“Being able to give back by helping fight
hunger is such a humbling experience. We are
very pleased we were able to collect such a great
amount of meals to give back to those in need
in our state,” said Lindsay Harris, of Maring
Williams Law Office, who along with Jack
Zuger, of Smith Bakke, spearheaded the statewide food drive for the YLS.
