In the Southwest Florida service area of the Harry Chapin Food Bank, 100,000 people live in poverty and too often miss meals or experience hunger. The fastest growing segments of need include children, seniors living on fixed incomes, and the working poor.

Thanks to you and thousands of Southwest Florida residents, the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive netted a whopping 260,475 pounds of food. That is 15,000 pounds more than last year! Despite the slowed economy, people were very generous, volunteering and donating so that the Harry Chapin Food Bank could restock our shelves and prepare for summer food distribution to local agencies. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT!
