The Atlanta legal community raised $247,781 over two weeks for the Atlanta Community Food Bank, reaching 99 percent of its $250,000 goal for this year’s Georgia Legal Food Frenzy.

Although it fell shy of its target, the total was about a 30 percent increase from last year’s online donations. More funds, from cash and checks and matching gifts, and canned goods are expected to come from the teams as organizers tally the winners in various categories of the statewide effort for food banks.
