Hunger is already a serious problem in Southwest Florida — where one in eight people are food insecure, including one in six children. Harry Chapin Food Bank (HCFB), which serves 250,000 neighbors monthly across the five-county region, has been closely monitoring the potential impacts of funding cuts on hunger in Southwest Florida. They’ll now rely on Harry Chapin Food Bank for help. Harry Chapin Food Bank is forecasting as much as a 90% increase in demand for food. Richard LeBer is the president and CEO of Harry Chapin Food Bank, Southwest Florida’s largest hunger-relief nonprofit and the region’s only Feeding America partner food bank.
