Attorney General Jason Miyares has announced the winners of the 19th Annual Legal Food Frenzy, a charitable competition involving law firms and legal entities across Virginia. The event aims to raise funds for local food banks and is organized by the Young Lawyers Division of the Virginia Bar Association alongside the Federation of Virginia Food Banks.

The Law Office of James Steele in Roanoke secured the Attorney General’s Cup for the fifth year in a row. This award is given to the firm that donates the most per employee among all participants.

This year’s Legal Food Frenzy successfully raised around $360,000, translating into more than 1.2 million meals for communities throughout Virginia. Over its 19-year history, this initiative has generated approximately 26 million pounds of food.
