Kajy Law Firm comes to aid of Gleaners Food Bank


Many children in metro Detroit go hungry in the summer months when school is not in session, since they rely on school meals for their daily nutrition.

Kajy Law Firm, PLLC, which prides itself on its family-friendly culture, had staff recognize the need to help feed the community and wanted to assist. Food and monetary donations for Gleaners will be collected through July 18. Collection bins have been set up in the main lobby of the Kajy Law Firm at 18000 W. Nine Mile Road in Southfield. 

The Gleaners Food Bank suggests supporters donate the following: canned vegetables, tuna fish, canned fruit, peanut butter, boxed cereal, and oatmeal. 

 “As a father of three, it is unimaginable to think about children going hungry. Anything we can do to help raise awareness and feed the community is necessary,” said Lawrence Kajy, founder and managing attorney of Kajy Law.
