Volunteers power the Harry Chapin Food Bank.
Volunteers make it possible for the food bank to feed a quarter of a million people a month in Southwest Florida.
Volunteers sort and pack donations of food at our Fort Myers and Naples distribution centers, distribute food at mobile pantries and collect donations at food drives, to mention just a few ways they make the food bank’s mission possible.
To find out if your volunteer hours can be matched by your company, please contact us at volunteering@harrychapinfoodbank.org or call (239) 334-7007. If you are in need of court-mandated hours, click here.
