SWMW Law Attorneys and Staff Remember 9/11 by Feeding the Hungry

SWMW Law attorneys and support staff honored the memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11 by volunteering to help pack more than 350,000 meals for the St. Louis Area Foodbank yesterday. National nonprofit 9/11 Day organizes the 9/11 Day of Service & Remembrance each year by bringing together more than 15,000 volunteers in 20 cities across the country to pack more than 5 million meals for people experiencing food insecurity in America. We are proud to join their efforts and stand in solidarity with all those who continue to experience the effects of that day. #BecausePeopleMatter
