PHILADELPHIA, December 13, 2021: Morgan Lewis has been recognized by Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network (PLAN) with a 2022 Excellence Award for its outstanding contributions on behalf of low-income and marginalized Pennsylvanians.
The Excellence Awards are not a distinction granted annually; rather, they are reserved for those who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in support of civil legal aid. In particular, the firm is being honored for its efforts, in coordination with Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, to secure more than $700 million in emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits from the US Department of Agriculture on behalf of more than 650,000 Pennsylvanian households struggling to meet their basic daily needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morgan Lewis is set to receive the honor during PLAN’s Excellence Awards Dinner on March 22.
