(Washington, D.C.) – Akin Gump is proud to share that, in the Capital Area Food Bank’s annual Food From the Bar fundraising campaign, contributions from the firm’s D.C. office topped 105% of the office goal set for 2022 to reach more than $78,500.
These funds will be joined to those raised by more than 35 other D.C.-area law firms, legal departments and related organizations to help address the problems of hunger and food insecurity facing nearly 250,000 children and young adults in the Greater Washington Area.
Akin Gump partner and member of the firm’s Food From the Bar committee Jamie Tucker said, “As an office, we are so proud of the lively contributions, good will and friendly competition that helped us top our 2022 fundraising target. Our firm culture has always included a commitment to service and philanthropy, and the annual Food From the Bar campaign gives everyone in the D.C. office—partners, counsel, associates, advisors and staff members—plus our alumni, a chance to contribute and help their neighbors facing food insecurity. We enjoy participating each year and encourage other firms and organizations to sign up for future campaigns.”
