Statewide, law firms gathered more than 1.36 million pounds of food for state food banks, enough for more than 1 million meals. This amount doubles last year's total of almost 679,000 pounds raised, and surpasses this year's goal of 1 million pounds.
More than 180 law firms participated in seven regions. The Blue Ridge region is served by the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, which includes Rockingham, Page, Shenandoah and Augusta counties.
