2026 Competition Rules and Registration Guidelines

Campaign Dates and Fundraising Goal

The 10th Annual Legal Food Frenzy will run from March 11-27, 2026. With your help, we hope to raise $75,000 to fight hunger in Kentucky!

Who Can Compete?

The Legal Food Frenzy is open to EVERYONE across Kentucky’s legal community. Teams compete to earn points before and during the campaign. Designate a Team Captain to register your:

  • Law Firm/Office
  • Corporate Legal Department
  • Government and Public Service Legal Department
  • Law School

The Team Captain will be the point of contact for your team, receive campaign updates, and is responsible for submitting information regarding Volunteering and Bonus Points.

How Does Your Team Earn Points?

There are four main ways for your team to earn points towards Legal Food Frenzy awards:

  1. Monetary Donations: $1 = 5 Points
    • Monetary Donations have the biggest impact in fighting hunger in Kentucky! With monetary donations, your Feeding Kentucky food bank will be able to use their well-established relationships and buying power to maximize the amount of healthy, nutritious food distributed to neighbors in your region.
    • Donate online through your team page!
    • Checks must be postmarked by March 27, 2026. Include Team Name and LFF 2026 to make sure points are properly awarded.
    • Mail all checks to: Feeding Kentucky, PO Box 5522, Frankfort, KY  40602-5522
    • Please DO NOT mail cash. Submit monetary donations by check or online donation.
  2. Canned Food Donations: 1 lb = 1 Point
    • All canned food donations must be delivered to your team’s designated regional food bank no later than March 27, 2026.
    • Please contact your regional food bank for a list of acceptable/needed items.
    • Find your regional food bank information under the Volunteering tab above.
  3. Volunteering: 500 points
    • Any team that signs up a group (even just one person!) to volunteer at their regional food bank will earn 500 points, one time.
    • Volunteering must take place between February 3, 2026, and March 27, 2026.
    • Find your regional food bank contact and sign up to volunteer under the Volunteering tab above!
  4. Bonus Points: Up to 1050 Points
    • Early Registration: 250 Points
      • Every team registered before March 11, 2026, will automatically earn these bonus points!
    • Social Media Challenge: Up to 300 Points
      • Teams can earn 250 Points for an eligible social media post made between February 3, 2026, and March 27, 2026.
      • To be eligible, the post must:
        • Be an original social media post on a public social media account;

        • Include a picture or video related to the Legal Food Frenzy; and
        • Tag the KBA Young Lawyers Division.
    • Only one eligible post is required to earn these points (though we encourage you to spread the word as much as you can!)
    • Get an extra one-time award of 50 points for sharing Attorney General Coleman’s Legal Food Frenzy video!
  5. Refer-a-Team: 500 Points
    • Earn 500 points for referring another team to the Legal Food Frenzy competition!
        • Teams that competed in the 2025 Legal Food Frenzy do not count for a referral.
        • The team referred must participate in the 2026 campaign by donating or volunteering in the manner described in numbers 1-3 above.
        • Report any bonus point activities to your Team Captain. Team Captains will be provided a form to report all bonus point activities for verification. These forms must be submitted no later than April 3, 2026. Failure to submit this form may result in bonus points not being awarded.
