Hamilton Lawyers Feed the Hungry
The Hamilton Lawyers Feed the Hungry program began operating in February 2018. This program partners with Mission Services in Hamilton to serve meals to those who are vulnerable and hungry within the Hamilton community, particularly children and families. The program sponsors meals on the last Wednesday of each month operating out of the Mission Services Community Kitchen, servicing 80-100 people per sitting.
Each month, the program covers the cost of the meal service, as well as provides the necessary volunteers to set up, serve the meal, and assist with clean up. Our volunteers represent a cross section of the legal community including lawyers, the judiciary, courthouse staff and other stakeholders. Together, we aim to help reduce hunger in Hamilton and make our community a better place. The hope over time is to be able to provide support beyond monthly. back to top

On February 1, 2018, the Hamilton Family Law Bar held Groundhog Day 2018, an evening filled with laughs, drinks and collegiality. Groundhog Day is an old Hamilton Family Law Bench and Bar tradition in which family law lawyers and judges are ridiculed and mocked in the name of charity and a good time. This year’s event raised money for Hamilton lawyers Feed the Hungry. We thank the Hamilton Family Law Bar for their generosity and support.
