Stacks at Harry Chapin’s (CREDIT: WINK News) There were about 90 volunteers that came out to participate in the 24-hour food drive with a goal of distributing 1,000 food kits to families in need. They surpassed it by distributing over 2,000 of them. Each box provides a family of four with food for five days. The Harry Chapin Food Bank is the largest hunger relief organization in Southwest Florida with a mission to help fight food insecurity.
