2025 Competition Rules and Registration Guidelines

Your firm and/or office location will compete as a team to earn points. There are four main ways for your team to earn points towards Legal Food Frenzy awards. 

1. Monetary Donations – All monetary donations made to your Food Bank in honor of your team earn points for you at a rate of $1 = 4 points. Anyone can donate on behalf of your team, not just attorneys or staff.
2. Food Donation – Any food items collected and donated earn points at a rate of 1 pound = 1 point. All donations must be collected during competition dates. Please contact your local Food Bank for a list of acceptable / needed items. 
3. Volunteering – Any firm that signs up a group (even just one person) from their work to volunteer at their local food bank or with an agency partner will earn 500 points, one time. The volunteer sign up must occur during the competition time frame, but the actual date of volunteering must be before June 27^th, 2025. 
4. Bonus Points – 
   1. 100 bonus points for registering your team by March 31^st. 
   2. 500 bonus points for volunteering with us. Schedule by April 25^th to be completed by June 27^th.
   3. 1,000 bonus points for referring another team to the competition, as long as that team has never competed in Legal Food Frenzy before and provided that they participate in LFF by donating food or money, and/or volunteering in the same year’s competition period. 

New for 2025: Stay tuned for additional opportunities for bonus points during the competition!
