Firm and Employees donate over $58,000 in cash, 14,100 food items and 13,800 meals to those in need

(Houston, TX)—Andrews Kurth LLP Managing Partner, Bob Jewell, announced that the firm has donated over $58,000 in cash to those in need this holiday season. The donations were made on behalf of the firm’s clients and in recognition of the charities’ ongoing efforts to serve those in need throughout the country.

Food bank contributions were made in the cities in which the firm operates, including:

Austin: Capital Area Food Bank
Dallas: North Texas Food Bank
Houston: Houston Food Bank
New York: City Harvest
Research Triangle Park: Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina
The Woodlands: Interfaith of The Woodlands
Washington, DC: The Capital Area Food Bank

“We are pleased to donate to the food banks again this year, ” said Jewell. “The food banks serve a vital role in our communities, and I believe that there are few causes that can have such an immediate impact as that of relieving hunger.”

The firm also sponsored its 5th annual “Open Up Your Heart and Give” campaign which called on each of the firm’s offices to sponsor a food drive. Attorneys and staff pulled together and collectively donated 14,179 food items, 13,842 meals and, in addition to the firm’s financial contribution, the staff and attorneys donated another $16,452—enough cash and food for the food banks to provide thousands of meals to homeless and hungry children, women and men across the country this holiday season.

This year, the firm also made a monetary donation to No Kid Hungry, a national organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

Lastly, because of the international presence of Andrews Kurth and its clients, the firm gave a financial contribution to the World Food Programme, the world's largest humanitarian agency dedicated to fighting hunger worldwide.
