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.
How?
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.
PLEASE NOTE ALL VOLUNTEERING MUST BE SCHEDULED IN ADVANCE, THANK YOU!
