Harry Chapin Food Bank is issuing an urgent call for boxes following the delivery of large amounts of food all at once from many recent community food drives. Before the donated food can be distributed to local families, it must be sorted and packaged, and the food bank\u2019s supply of boxes has been completely depleted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply grateful for the generosity of our community,\u201d said Richard LeBer, president and CEO of Harry Chapin Food Bank. \u201cThe amount of food donated has been incredible, but we rely on boxes to sort, store, and distribute these items efficiently. We\u2019re asking anyone who can help to consider donating boxes so we can continue getting food to the families who need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n

The food bank is requesting heavyweight, new or gently used boxes. The boxes must be able to hold up to 15 pounds and should be in the following sizes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 9 to 12 inches tall<\/p>\n

\u2022 16 to 20 inches wide<\/p>\n

\u2022 19 to 22 inches long<\/p>\n

Box donations can be delivered to Harry Chapin Food Bank\u2019s Fort Myers warehouse Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

For questions or coordination of larger box donations, please contact the Harry Chapin Food Bank at 239-334-7007.<\/p>\n
