Food From The Bar

Welcome to Food From The Bar!

During the month of May, the local legal community will come together for one purpose: to help End Hunger in Our Community.

Participating firms, companies and bar associations will enter a friendly competition to see who can raise the most funds, collect the most food, and volunteer the most hours for the Redwood Empire Food Bank.

We hope you’ll join us in our efforts!
