What is the Lawyers’ Campaign Against Hunger?
Since 1987, the Lawyers’ Campaign Against Hunger has served as the philanthropic pillar of the legal community—bringing dedicated Maryland attorneys together to combat food insecurity in Maryland.
The 2024 Campaign runs from September 1-December 31, with a goal to raise $400,000 for the Maryland Food Bank—a true testament to our field’s commitment to assist our neighbors in need.
The legal community has raised more than $7.5 million to support Maryland households struggling with hunger since the Campaign launched. MFB is committed to expanding food access while providing the estimated 1 in 3 food-insecure Marylanders with resources to help build pathways out of hunger. The support of our community will be critical in sustaining these efforts.
Now, Marylanders are facing higher costs than ever before, and having to choose whether they can afford to pay the bills or purchase healthy food. It’s never too early—or too late—to show your support. Will you join us in this effort with a donation today?

The Maryland Food Bank fills an important need for thousands of families year-round in need of food, and that need is only growing, with 4.8 million pounds of food distributed to families in September alone. As lawyers, our responsibility to our communities follows us out of the courtroom. Volunteering with the Food Bank gives us a way to be of service in a different way – by helping to eliminate food insecurity in our state.

Too many Marylanders remain in the unthinkable position of choosing between food and other necessities like heat, rent, or medications, and too often, they go to bed with empty stomachs. As lawyers, we have the resources and common interest in social justice to make a difference.
