"Simonsen Law Firm participates in the Legal Feeding Frenzy to help shine a light on the pressing issue of hunger found in our area, and across our state.   We feel that it’s important to raise awareness, just as it is important to raise funds and make a difference.  We are thrilled to have won North Carolina’s sole division for the past three consecutive years, and really appreciate ‘our' generous donors who have helped us help others," said Chamblee Simonsen, Office Administrator of Simonsen Law Firm.

Law firms across the state are encouraged to enter the competition and collect as many pounds of food as possible. Locally, four other firms from the Food Bank of the Albemarle's service territory participated this year including Legal Aid of NC; Sharp, Michael, Graham & Baker, LLP; The Twiford Law Firm and Hornthal, Riley, Ellis & Maland, LLP. More than 62,000 lbs of food was raised to help fight hunger in NENC and nearly 300,000 pounds of food was collected across the state. Each of this year’s champions is a repeat winner and several are being honored for the third consecutive year.
