Coming together to fight food insecurity in our community
The ACBF’s Attorneys Against Hunger campaign is now in its 29th year of raising funds to fight hunger in Allegheny County. Last year, our supporters helped us raise over $120,000 to support hunger services and pantries that serve our neighbors affected by food insecurity.
Every dollar donated to Attorneys Against Hunger is distributed to one of seventeen local anti-hunger agencies, thanks to the generous underwriting of Lead Sponsor Steidl & Steinberg and Support Sponsors Gleason Experts and Judge Raymond A. Novak.
Added support comes from a challenge grant provided by Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, the Rita M. McGinley Foundation, and the McGinley family members of the bar.
