BUFFALO, N.Y. – For Thanksgiving 2020, Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP announced that through financial donations by the firm and organized food drives, the firm provided more than 5,000 meals to individuals and families in need during the Thanksgiving holiday. In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Lippes Mathias’ Jacksonville, Fla. and Albany, N.Y. offices not only made financial donations, but also collected food items for donation to the Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry (BEAM) in Jacksonville and Equinox, Inc. in Albany.
