Harry Chapin Food Bank Group Packing Event - Fort Myers Warehouse

Join your friends and neighbors as Copperleaf volunteers at the Harry Chapin Food Bank (HCFB) Warehouse in Fort Myers on April 30th  between 8:30 and 11:30.  We will be packing food boxes that are distibuted at mobile pantries.  Last year our 30 volunteers packed 700 boxes.

After you register for the event you will be provided information for registering as a HCFB volunteer (if you haven't done so previously), and signing up for the event on the HCFB volunteer website.

When you arrive at Harry Chapin Food Bank, 3760 Fowler St, please pull into the parking lot off Central Ave, or the West side of the building. If all spaces are filled, you may park at the Dollar General located on the corner of Winkler and Fowler. We will organize carpooling just prior to the event.
