Food from the Bar. A Fundraiser in support of the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.

Food from the Bar

The legal community is gearing up for the 34th annual Food From the Bar hunger-fighting competition, and we need your help! This year’s fundraising drive will run from September 8 through October 6.

In addition, we are pleased to reprise our Res Ipsa Jokuitor Comedy Night kick-off which will be held on September 4, 2025, 6:00 to 10:00 pm at Back 40 BBQ. Learn more and get your tickets today!

Please join us in this friendly competition by creating a team (for your firm, company, or organization) and encouraging those around you to donate. All donations made under your team’s name will count toward your team’s goal!

With every $1 raised, the Food Bank can provide TWO healthy meals, so each donation makes a big impact! Food From the Bar has raised enough money to provide more than 3 million meals to feed our community! We can’t wait to see how many lives we can impact this year, so join a team today!

With our humble gratitude, thank you for supporting the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.
