Epsten APC  named “Rookie of the Year” in their first year of participation in the Feeding America San Diego 2015 “Food from the Bar” (FFTB) competition! Our team of attorneys, staff, friends and colleagues rallied together from May 4th thru May 29th to raise funds, collect food and volunteer their time to help end hunger in this countywide competition in which San Diego law firms competed to see who could make the biggest impact to overrule hunger.

Team EG&H unites to help end hunger!

On May 4th our firm officially began our fight to help end hunger by participating in the Feeding America San Diego (FASD) Food from the Bar competition, a countywide competition in which we will compete against other local San Diego law firms to see who can make the biggest impact to overrule hunger.

The competition runs May 4th thru May 29th and our goal is to raise $7,500 and a total of 100,000 points.

There are three ways that “Team EG&H” can earn points—by donating funds (10pts per dollar), food (1pt per pound) and volunteer time (5pts per hour) —and we invite you to get involved however you can to support this effort and take a stand against hunger today!
