Burnett & Williams specializes in personal injury law, which encompasses many injuries and incidents for which a third party is negligent and legally responsible.
Coming together for those in need.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, we’ve expanded our Ampersand Pantry Project to provide free lunches for those in need. No questions asked, 7 days a week, we’re teaming up with local restaurants and community volunteers to provide healthy meals for anyone who stops by: 335 E. Market Street, Leesburg.
We’ve taken this step to help individuals who are suddenly unable provide for themselves and their families, especially those with children who lost their school lunch access. We’re also interested in supporting restaurants and restaurant workers who have had their businesses turn upside down. Each day a different restaurant is providing the food, some donating and some working at cost, all to serve up to 300 meals a day.
This effort has been made possible through countless volunteer hours and generous donations from an expanding group of local citizens. If you’d like to help, sign up for our facebook group and donate today on our GoFundMe page. Checks to the “Ampersand Pantry Project” can be sent our Leesburg or Hopewell offices. Watch here for more information on this community effort.
