Harry Chapin Food Bank will be at Raphael Catholic Church in Lehigh Acres two hours earlier on Tuesday, September 27. The Fulfill mobile pantry distribution, located at 2514 Lee Blvd, was originally scheduled for 10 to 11:30 a.m. Due to the inclement weather expected tomorrow, the distribution is now scheduled from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Harry Chapin Food Bank is also regretfully canceling the distribution scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, at Boys and Girls Club in Immokalee. The distribution, located at 1155 Roberts Ave W, was scheduled to be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
“The safety of our drivers, volunteers, employees and those whom we serve, is our priority in the decision-making process,” stated Richard LeBer, President and CEO of the food bank. “The amount of coordination and logistics needed to hold our mobile pantry distributions requires that we make predictions early on regarding our ability to safely conduct them.”
The food bank’s senior leadership team will continue to closely monitor the situation and respond as necessary.
Harry Chapin Food Bank is prepared to provide food and water to those who have been impacted. Please visit our website harrychapinfoodbank.org for updates.
