Food Bank Volunteering

Chris Regan, Emily Lagan, Frances McDonald, and several other members of the DC Trial Lawyers Association (TLA-DC) volunteered at the Capital Area Food Bank on November 7. Each November, TLA-DC forgoes a traditional meeting in favor of volunteering at the food bank. Chris, Emily, and Frances sorted donations and packed them for distribution to families in need across DC.  Together with the other TLA-DC volunteers, they sorted and packed over 3 tons of food. Thanks to the Capital Area Food Bank for hosting us, we look forward to this event every year!

Distracted Driving Seminars

Man speaking to crowdFor the past few years, Salvatore Zambri has been giving presentations at area schools to students, faculty and parents about the catastrophic consequences of distracted driving. His mission aims to teach students and their parents the importance of driving carefully. He also seeks to empower them to be sure that they do not allow others to drive while distracted, at least not while they are passengers in a vehicle. His presentations are part of his community service, and he has received tremendous, positive feedback from students, faculty and parents about how impacting his presentations are to those who hear it. Here follow a few quotes from school principals:

“Thank you so much for the powerful presentation you made to all the students at [our] high school today. We really appreciate your coming out here to spread the word about how dangerous distracted driving is.”

“I learned many lessons from your teachings and wisdom. All our kids were focused on your words of wisdom and precaution.” “You did a great job . . . I am sure your presentation made a difference and will in the future.”


Feeding the Hungry

Salvatore Zambri and his family make full, healthy, homemade meals every two weeks, which they then deliver to local shelters. The food they prepare feeds between 60 and 80 underprivileged local men, women and children twice per month throughout the year. As he explains, “My parents taught me the importance of charitable works. I am tremendously proud of my wife and children for taking the time to make such a difference in the lives of many in our community. It is a joy to serve our community as a family in this way.”
