What Will Work For Food Does
The Will Work For Food programs are presented primarily by and for attorneys, mediators and arbitrators. Each Thursday at 8am Pacific an amazing colleague joins us to give a webinar presentation about a timely topic. These programs are free. You can join us for all or one. We don’t ask you to pay for these invaluable webinars, instead we hope that you’ll make a donation of any size to your local food bank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.

The Origin Story of Will Work For Food
In April of 2020, just as Covid19 was really taking root, I was like everyone else and endlessly watching various television news channels. The physical, emotional, mental, economic, and political tolls of coronavirus were devastating and just getting started. I watched, and was stunned at the speed at which demands on food banks doubled, then tripled, then kept growing. It was heartbreaking.
My immediate response was to write a check. But I’m just one shorter-than-average woman with limited financial resources. I couldn’t do much all by myself. I was also feeling quite small (existentially that is, not a dig on being 61 inches).
To make myself feel better and to possibly do some good I called on my colleagues in the resolution industry to help. I created Will Work For Food to help raise awareness and donations for food banks worldwide as well as provide educational programs for the ADR industry. The programs offered are created by and for mediators, arbitrators and attorneys.
Will Work For Food programs are free. The speakers are volunteers and greatly appreciated. The moderators, Jeff Kichaven and Jean Lawler, donate their time, money, professionalism, love for the resolution industry, and passion for helping. They are one and all good humans. Thank you all.
I hope that you enjoy what you watch, feel moved to participate, will share the invitation to join us each Thursday with your colleagues, and are able to make a donation of any size to food bank near you.
