The Georgia Tech Office of Legal Affairs jumped into an early lead for the Atlanta portion of the Georgia Legal Food Frenzy, the annual competition in which the legal community raises funds for food banks around the state. The event helps the 20 percent of Georgians—and 25 percent of Georgia children—who do not know how they’ll get their next meal.

Around 5 p.m. Monday, Georgia Tech had raised $10,820, backed by a $10,000 donation and eight other gifts.
