Big effort from little #leaders.

Lehigh Elementary students collected 557 pounds of food to help support neighbors across Southwest Florida. Thank you to the #teachers and staff who helped turn this into a meaningful lesson in kindness and #community.

Shout out to Florida Gulf Coast University Journalism teacher and WGCU Public Media reporter, Mike Walcher, for inviting us to speak to his journalism students and share about our efforts to support neighbors facing food insecurity in #swfl. The students all had great questions, and many followed up with written and video interviews about our organization. We hope to continue to inspire our younger generations to be a part of our work for years to come! #HarryChapinFoodBank #communitysupport #students
