Food, Clothing & Holiday Gift Drives

For many years Quinn Emanuel has participated in food, clothing, and gift drives that serve the less fortunate.

The firm contributes annually to the Los Angeles Food Bank’s “Food from the Bar” campaign by collecting food, volunteering time, and donating funds toward Food Bank operations. The most recent food drive yielded an extraordinary 1.9 million meals for hungry families throughout Los Angeles County.

The San Francisco office participates in a toy and diaper drive in collaboration with San Francisco Fire Fighters and local charity Help a Mother Out.

The Washington, D.C. office collaborates with Bread for the City, a nonprofit legal services organization that provides food, clothing, healthcare, legal assistance, and social services to low-income D.C. residents.

The Los Angeles office hosts an annual “Holiday Wish Tree” to support Five Acres, a nonprofit organization devoted to child abuse prevention, treatment, and education.

The New York office hosts a month-long donation drive in December in which clothing, shoes, school supplies, books, toys, and housewares are collected and contributed to the local Salvation Army chapter.

In collaboration with Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Hamburg office donates holiday gifts to families staying at Ronald McDonald Houses—"homes away from home" that allow families to live close to their hospitalized children at little or no cost.

Supporting Cerebral Palsy Alliance

Quinn Emanuel’s Sydney office participates in “Steptember,” an annual charity event run by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, which provides support services to thousands of people with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. The Alliance challenges participants to take 10,000 steps every day during the month of September.

In 2015, Steptember raised $3,992,438.65 in Australia and $5,307,030.41 worldwide to pay for equipment, therapy, and research into cerebral palsy treatments.
