Winston West Coast Offices Join the Fight Against Hunger

June 27, 2016
The firm’s San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles offices came through in a big way to support the 2016 Food from the Bar (FFTB) Campaign, a friendly competition where participating firms compete to fundraise, collect food, and contribute volunteer hours to help end hunger.
We are pleased to announce that our San Francisco office raised $8,725 and contributed 175 hours of volunteer time at the SF/Marin Food Bank, working with other FFTB volunteers to box 4,200 pounds of frozen carrots and 1,500 pounds of oranges, sort 2,100 pounds of plums, and package 1,800 pounds of rice.
Not to be outdone, Los Angeles office attorneys and staff raised $12,445 for FFTB, which will provide nearly 50,000 meals, and contributed 112 volunteer hours at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Compared to last year, LA contributed more than double the donations and three times as many volunteer hours to FFTB. Associates Jason Campbell and Shawn Obi led the charge in this office as its campaign coordinators.
FFTB kicked off in April and concluded with Awards Receptions on June 22 in LA and June 23 in San Francisco. LA received an award for achieving platinum donor status, and San Francisco brought home the Gold Partner Award.
