J. Alexander Law and the North Texas Food Bank

More than fifteen thousand pounds of food, packed and delivered by hand. Here is the story of the day J. Alexander Law spent at the North Texas Food Bank, and the giving habit it is part of.

Fifteen thousand pounds of food does not move itself. Somebody has to collect it, sort it, weigh it, and carry it. In 2021, that somebody was the team at J. Alexander Law, on the floor of the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas, working a food drive for families across our own city.

If you searched for the law firm behind that food drive, you found it. J. Alexander Law, also known as Jalex Law, is a Dallas personal injury and wrongful death firm led by Josh Alexander. The same name on our cases is the one that showed up at the food bank, and the one that answers at 1-800-INJURED when a Texas family is hurt.

More than 15,000 pounds of food

In 2021, J. Alexander Law joined Univision’s annual Contigo food drive, “Contigo, Colecta de Comida,” to help fight hunger across North Texas.

The headline number is the one that sticks: the drive collected and delivered more than 15,000 pounds of food to the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas, which moves that food out to families across the region.

How it came together

A number like that is the easy part to print. The work behind it took weeks.

  1. Set up the sitesThe team spent several weeks setting up donation points across the Dallas Fort Worth area so people had somewhere close to give.
  2. Collect and deliverDonations were gathered from those sites and brought to the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas.
  3. Pack and weighThe team put in hours on the food bank floor, packing and weighing the food so it was ready to go out.
  4. Out to familiesFrom there, the food bank moves it into the hands of North Texas families who need it.

We did not write a check and call it a day. We packed the boxes and weighed every one.

More than one day

The North Texas Food Bank drive was not a one off. Fighting hunger has been a steady part of how J. Alexander Law gives back, year after year:

A steady habit. Food drives, holiday giving, and school support across North Texas.
Named events, named outcomes These are not vague “we give back” lines. They are specific drives, on specific dates, with food weighed in real pounds and families counted one by one. That is the only kind of community work this firm puts its name on.

Why it matters to this firm

J. Alexander Law was built in North Texas, for the people who live here. The same families who fill the stands, drive the highways, and work the job sites are the ones the firm represents when something goes wrong.

So showing up at the food bank is not separate from the work. It is the same idea, pointed at a different problem: when your neighbors need someone in their corner, you show up and do the work, whether that is on the food bank floor or in a courtroom.

Josh Alexander, founder of J. Alexander Law Firm

This firm comes from North Texas, so when families in our own backyard could not put food on the table, showing up at the food bank was the easy call, not a marketing one. The fifteen thousand pounds is the part people see. The habit behind it is the part that matters. The same firm that packed those boxes is the one that answers at 1-800-INJURED when you are hurt and need someone who will actually show up.
